Hello! I am 24 and recently graduated with a BS in an unrelated field, a degree I will likely never use (at least at this point in my life). I'm currently working a full-time job, living at home, at about 25-30k/yr. (The living with my parents-part was to ideally to devote most of the year's upcoming income directly to my private license.)
I currently work at FedEx (retail) which has availed many conversations with pilots. Just about everyone has suggested (1) an upcoming shortage (which my critical/cynic, and this forum's resources allude differently), and (2) the best way to complete training is on the govt's dime through the ANG or Airforce.
Additionally I am currently in the Baltimore-area, with few other prospects and passions in a career-oriented mind-set. However, the prospect of compounding my current debt (maybe not with ppl, but long-term) is less than ideal.

I appreciate any thoughts, ideas, questions, or critique of my general thoughts/ plans.

(Thanks in advance)
