Question
Sir, can I rely on my enthusiasm to be an aeronautical engg? So far i have good scores in my high school level and i am thinking of joining this field since my childhood. How shall i prepare for this during this time?

Answer
I think aeronautical engineering is a great profession.  To succeed you need to take all the math and science courses available, especially physics.  Chemistry and computer science classes would be helpful.  Beyond that you need to be very competent in communication and writing.  Good luck.
