👍 It's great to see that you have a clear idea of your career goals at such a young age. Keep working towards your passion!
Regarding becoming a pilot, it's important to note that while obtaining an ATAR may not be necessary to become a pilot, it can be beneficial for pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Aviation. However, there are other pathways available, such as VET qualifications or Diploma of Aviation, which can lead to a career as a pilot. 🛫
If you decide to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Aviation, some recommended (and transferable skills) subjects include Mathematics, Physics, English, Chemistry, and Biology. You may want to consider universities such as Swinburne or Edith Cowan University, which offer Bachelor's degrees in Aviation in Victoria. 🎓
It's also worth checking out resources such as the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) website to learn more about the requirements and process to become a pilot in Australia. And if you're interested in starting your aviation training, enrolling in a Diploma of Aviation once you turn 15 (you may already be 15) would be an excellent way to get started. ✈️
Have a safe flight!
