Question
Sir,
I am doing bachelors in electrical engineering in India. I'd like to take pilot training in Australia after completing my bachelors.Is this a right decision now? Please tell me about the caree options and job opportunities for pilot training students? Also send me the list of best pilot training schools in Australia.

Answer
I don't know if it is the right decision now.  That is a question you will need to answer.

Ask yourself these questions also:

- Is flying something I would enjoy doing for the long term?
- What does it cost to become a pilot?
- What are the training requirements for becoming a pilot?
- Do I have to go to Australia to become a pilot?

Some career options are airline pilot, military, corporate pilot, medical pilot, environmental agency pilot, private pilot, test pilot, tour guide pilot.  There are probably hundreds more too.

Sorry, I don't have a list of the best pilot training schools in Australia.

Thanks!
