The future is going to be amazing!

Hello Evilzone,


Some of you know that I soon will be starting on taking a flight certificate for gliders. This is a personal dream that comes true and I can't believe that this is happening! In about a year from know on I will hopefully get my certificate and what they do in this video will hopefully be done by me 


For those of you thinkng that gliders is boring and useless, watch this video:

Looks like great fun! I've always wanted to pass a pilot certificate sometime in the future, its a feeling somewhat of being free;

I wish you good luck, accomplishing dreams is a great feeling and priceless memory for the rest of the life. 
Although not many people understand what it means to chase a dream.

Weren't you joining the RDAF? Or have plans changed?

Anyway, good on you mate. It must be fun soaring in the skies like like a bird and looking down at the things below

Thank you! Things has changed a bit, I'm now planning on a career as a front-end developer. I will have to take a Bachelor at univerity first and in the mean time I can relax and stress out in the skies. If everything goes as planned I will have my first flight at saturday.

a bachelor at university to be a front-end web developer?  or did I misread that?

[Phage]

Well it's not a specific education aimed at that, it will be something like "communication and web design" or such..

Seems a bit OTT for that to be honest, but good luck with it.  I never dismiss education, just the system that trys to get people as qualified as possible but not practically good at working in that role in a real working environment, meeting targets and deadlines etc.  I hope for your sake you're one of the exceptions that can go through the system and work well coming out of it

The thing is that the company I hope to end up working requires you to have some some sort of education as well as working experience.

I would say that any company that's worth anything will take quality experience over quality education.  A proven track record is more valuable compared to looking good on paper.

This looks so damn interesting, what are the qualifications required to apply for a gilder flying licence? How much does it cost? 

[Phage]

In my country the requirements is:


- At the age of 14 or above (15 if you want to fly solo)
- Time


I pay 2000$ for my certificate and if you are fast you can do it in one year

That does look fun, but I like the idea of skydiving and wing suits better.

To be honest I don't have the balls to do that! Though parachute is not a problem. The song, yes, I listened a lot to that song for some time ago. It amazes me how well the song fits to such videos.
