Hi, I'm a new member. It took me some time to get some encouragement to post this thread, my 2nd one.
For those that don't know me (i guess the majority): My name is Javier Gore, I'm 19yrs old, and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
First of all let me thank you all for your time.
Right now I’m going through a very difficult and critical moment of my life: I’m about to finish highschool and as you may think, I want to start the flying lessons for my ratings as soon as possible.
But here comes the trouble:
I'm a middle-class boy, with divorced parents, and I don't have money to take the lessons. In addition, my parents are pushing me to attend to "SOME" University which obviously I don't want, 'cause we only have universities of math, medicine, law, etc and none related to aviation, except of one located 600 miles from here. Most of the best universities down here are free. My parents push me to attend to SOME of them in order I Don't "waste my time".
How come am i gonna attend to a subjet i don't and won't like anyways ?
Of course, we do have flying schools, but they are way expensive (like $ 100 an hour on a pa-28).
May be you don't figure out what the situation here is. I'll try to give you some clues.
Middle-class family income: $ 1200 - 1500
Minimum wage on a paid job without university degree (for a teen):
$ 100 - 250
Minimum wage on a paid job with university degree: $ 400 - 600
The point is that we are suffering unemployment near % 40, and it's nearly impossible to get a job.
As for me:
I have an aunt and uncle living in Clovis, California. I'm sure they are not willing to spend money on me to get my ratings up there. And if they would, I can't get a paid job in the states if I haven't the green card. Also, I could not get any reasonable job as an immigrant in the states to pay for my ratings.
My sister is living in Venezuela, where the flying cost of an hour on a pa-28 is the same as in the states.
My question is:
Since I’m getting desperate about start building my career, my dream, and I don't have any source of incoming money, what can I do in the meantime? I'm afraid to waste time. As I heard in many places, the sooner I get my ratings, the better.
Some thing is very true: being born in sub-developed country could cost you many tears.
If I said something I was wrong above, please correct me, and if you can contribute with some information or something to help me with this issue, i would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
