With all due respect, there’s not much difference between 70k (I can make up to 75 if I want to work which I will) and 110k. I need to be making 250k like the guy next to me with the exact same qualifications as me and I’m working harder

Yeah pretty much this.
I earned way less years ago and now im just able to save more.
My lifestyle did not change at all. I still drive my shitbox and wear the same jeans for the last 10 years.
Only thing i did is spend money on some bicycles and thats it.

It cost me 95k (68k USD) (my school was an hour and half away from my house)
I finished with almost 0 debt because I was working full time while going to school full time. I finished in a year and 1 month. But I could’ve saved probably another 10k but going on a cheaper plane but it was just inconvenient and it’s like I have a social life or my life even matter

On the bright side, at least it is out of doors with amazing views. Every time I fly as a passenger I always stare out the window to observe the miracle of flight until nothing can be seen. The sky is my favorite place to be on Earth, I like heights and expansive vistas.

I'm at 120k for a work from home gig. That being said no woman is ever going to fuck me when I tell her that I'm an IT guy, and nobody is going to mourn me when I finally off myself because I'm a shut-in weirdo now.

Why not recommend? Do it for 2 years, park it in a managed account, and you can basically retire. Is it the misery, or the risk?

It’ll take a mentor to get into it and it’ll take 3+ years building up a client base to be able to bill 150 hours a month. Obviously you have to have your own airplane and a smart person would have a back up just incase.

Aren't American pilots compensated much better. Seems like a really solid job for Americans. 300k a year to fly a nice plane a few times a month. Yea I get it, it probably gets routine after a while and being away from stinks, but you never take work home and you don't have to wake up at 9 and sit in a cubicle for 8 hours.

It could be worse. You could be assigned as the only controller in an airport located in bumfuck nowhere, where the majority of flying stuff you'll see are the birds.

homework isn't really bad. maybe it depends where you're going. but it think 4 days a week is best, 5 days a week is ideal too obviously, and maybe 3 day weeks intermittently if you want more days off. this is all if you want to make a career out of it. if you're only doing flight training twice a week it's gonna take much longer to get through all your ratings

flight school is something you do if you *want* to do it. a lot of guys doing aviation as a career would probably be waging or cdl'ing or some other such shit if they weren't doing this
a lot of people try to get into it because they think it's just some job but you need to have an interest in it, like any other specialized field

I do have interest in it, but some things make me hesitate. Like the cost of flight school…
I would vastly prefer flying to coding, but that doesn’t mean I’d prefer being a pilot to being a programmer.
