Question
I live in England and I'm on the verge on completing my high school career and I wanted to ask if I can become a successful airline pilot, without attending college.

Answer
Hi Abdul,
To my knowledge, all of the airlines in the USA require a college degree.  If this is the career that you intend on following, I strongly suggest that you attend an aviation  university. Check out this site:
