 Is there work flying or not?
Greetings. I'm new here but have read over some of the threads about people interested in becoming pilots. The posts have been honest and reasonable, but I feel somewhat discouraged now.
I'm 23yrs old with no previous flight background. I work in my family construction company but have been doing some soul searching for a few years and I'm really considering taking the 141 course at a community college near a small flight school.
There is a love interest in my life for a few years now and marriage has been coming up a lot in my thoughts.
How reasonable is it to be looking into flying for my job/career? How quickly can I get my pilot license (not private license) if I devote all of my time to it? Is there work in the field? If a commercial airliner is less likely to hire me with nothing on my resume, is there other work flying?
Complete newbie here. Any thoughts or tips would greatly be appreciated. Thank you!
