Hey, I'm a 21 year old college student who recently had his first flight lesson. I really enjoyed it and want to learn more about flying professionally. I think it would make for an exciting career, and wonder about what opportunities are available for work as well as the costs involved in preparation and training. The instructor I had for my first lesson implied that it was a long and hard road before seeing any real money and kind of left me feeling leery about fully committing to it, but I enjoyed the experience so much that I felt it was worth deeper investigation. I'm expecting to find plenty of people here that have the experience to give me a more balanced perspective.
