I'm really interested to careers in airlines, but my physics and geography grades are not that high ( mostly High B's only), and i saw people mostly fail and wasted a whole 4-5 years studying aviation. What actual requirements do I really need to become a pilot or air traffic controller? Or should I just give up as my grades aren't great enough? And I also didn't choose Geography as a subject, but I put physics in my reserve. Coz im really bad at them. TYYYYYY

my brother is doing it, I can ask him about it if you like hes in his first yr though so I'm not exactly sure if he'll have the answers to all your questions
idk what year you're in but if its yr 11 or 10 I'd recommend doing air force cadets or something because that seemed like it helped him prepare and get some idea of whether he'd like it (also good experience tbh)
I know hes enjoying the coursework, but from what I've gathered it is quite a lot of work and (in the first year) essays
quite a bit of history?? idk

Air Force Cadets really does help you. I've been in it for a while and the flying and gliding experiences are great. Also just having your character developed and your leadership skills is another really good part of it. I have a friend who's doing aviation and he spent his time in the AAFC and he says it really does prepare you.
