need help with pilot training
Ok guys, I'm a 35 year old male who works as a line service guy in Aviation. I live in Rhode Island. I have been dreaming of becoming a pilot ever since I was 8 years old. I have done my research on becoming a pilot and am discouraged. I feel that I am too old to start traing, because I know that it will at least take me 18 years to get a good paying job. That will make me 53 years old before reeping any benefits. I plan on financing my dream. Am I crazy for wanting to pursue this. I do not have a family and is there any jobs out there? Also, how many hours do the Airlines or fractionals look for?
Thanks
Orlando
