Question
Hello, I would love to have your advice.  I love flying.  My father and step fathers were both held their private pilots license and when I was young I had the opportunity to fly many times.  I badly want a career in Aviation.  Flying is def. in my blood, it is what I want to do with my life.  In 6 months I will have my fiancee out of college with her Masters.  At that point I will be freed up to pick a direction for my life.  I badly want to get my pilots license.  I want to know what kind of opportunities are available out there in the industry....that you can make enough to at least pay the bills.  Obviously, I would not have many hours so a job with United is out of the question.....what else can I do and make money???  I have such a passion for skies.  Thank you for your time.

Yours is a question that I get often, so to better address it and all the need-to-know-stuff an aspiring pilot must learn about, I created a webpage that covers flight training and airline pilot career FAQs. Check it out and I think you will get answers to much of what you want to know, plus more. Then with a "big piture" idea of what to expect, you can then better assess your career options.

Once you have read it over, and checked out the links at bottom, get back to me with any additional questions.
