Aviation university? Or just a regular university and then do aviation on the side?

I'm currently 15 and going through ground school in january. I want to one day be a major airline pilot. Which is the faster/better route to take?

Do flight training on your own, and get a college degree in something else, something you'll enjoy doing if flying doesn't work out for you.

Pilot (flight crew) school or Cabin crew school or aeronautical school? They are listed under Aviation industry…

15 is bit young to get started with a formal ground school, since you can't get your Private license until you are 17 years old, or a Commercial license until you're 18. Ground School is not actually REQUIRED to get a pilot's license anyway. You can study on your own to get enough knowledge to pass the FAA written exams.

As far as college is concerned, any kind of aviation degree is a TOTAL waste of time and money. It won't get you hired or promoted any faster, and if something happens that you can't fly any more, an aviation degree won't help you find a REAL job.

Join air force. Will save years.
Or, get bachelor's in History, it's the easiest major.

Join the air force and get your experience there. AND get paid for being there.
