What do you want to do when you're older is asked of young people all the time. Few of us really know. I wanted to be a fire fighter, then in the army, then a pilot. That one stuck. I knew nothing about flying but I heard about the air cadets from a friend and joined. It was the flying that I was most focused on but it gave me an insight into the world of the RAF. The camps were the best and my highlight was a flight in a Hawk; it was so exhilarating. Despite all this I realised the forces were not for me and having no clear options I found nursing. This was never on my radar but I loved it and I tried it for a year before committing and then went to University where I got a degree in Paediatric Nursing. I took so much from being a nurse for those few years before flying raised its head again with another opportunity to get a cadetship with BA. I didn't have high expectations but if you don't try then you won't know. I had a go and here I am today as a Captain.

This is especially for those that are still at school; I am often asked what subjects are best to take, to best set themselves up to become a Pilot. This is twofold, firstly, the subjects you love, will probably be the ones that keep you most engaged and likely to yield the best results. Secondly, the stereotypical idea of a Pilot being great at Maths and Physics is false - there are those of us that didn't go to University, that have had one, or even multiple careers previously. This is a job most consider for life, it is far more important to do something you enjoy than chase a dream you think you need to.
