That being said, I am only going this route because I have my entire training paid for. Being debt free will enable me to be able to survive the low paying jobs. I am 30 now and starting commercial training. Its highly advised against by the negative type who have nothing good to say about aviation. My pilot frinds however are excited about it.
I am not going to get rich. Salaries are already on the decline outside of aviation. I went from 240k to 52k in 2 years. I decided I would rather be flying making 30k than continue down that path. If you want it and can handle it, why not do it.
I want to know what field you were working in that had that sort of salary drop in that timespan!
