Question
if i wanted to go to college to be a pilot would i need to study science in secondary school?

Answer
Hi Robyn,
Most colleges do require science.  I strongly suggest that a concentration in Earth Science (particularly meteorology) and physics is the way to go.  Aviation colleges as well as any pilot school require courses in these areas.  You need to understand both to become a pilot.  Taking these courses in High School will give you a much needed head start.
Good Luck,
Dave Bidwell
