The most frustrating part though is that even though I have loved airliners since I was around, say...2...many, many people discourage me from persuing a career in aviation. On the other hand, I've got a lot of talent with digital media, buttt...the possible jobs I could get sound pretty boring.

What I would like is for some proper info on becoming a commercial airline pilot (possibly from those who live in australia or middle east?), how long it would take to get a job with a good airline, the benefits, family life, and lifestyle in general, plus anything else that might be useful for me.

Any advice would be really appreciated!

Thanks
Udz

I could say follow your passion however some will say passion wont pay the bills. I am in the Media industry and must say the money is good and I have met some real ASS***** along the way. It really depends on what area of digi media you want to get involved in. Feel free to PM me anytime if you have an questions about it.
