Are you drunk? No business will love you as much as you love it. Yet no other job pays as much for as little "work" as being an airline pilot, unless you are Kim Kardashian. Gheezus young kid has aspirations to be a pilot like you and I did when we were young. Besides, I'd hardly call flying 300agl low levels to airdrops and landing on assault strips being a drone pilot in my niche. Is it a risk going active duty, yes, but hence why we mentioned the guard.
Kid, don't listen to Grumble and don't listen to the negativity on these forums from some. Being a pilot, civilian or military is a kick ass way to earn a living. Does it come with its risks? Yes, but which career doesn't?
