Hello everyone, I'm new here and was just trying to figure out if it's still possible for me to become a pilot. I'm 27, have an associates, and am currently just finsihing up my apprenticeship as an electrician. I have always loved aircraft and flying for as long as I can remember. Lately I have deceided to look into it again. I think I'm too old for the air force otherwise I'd try that route. Is there a decent way to go as a civilian? Will I pretty much starve for a while untill I get on with a regional? Should I try a school or get a 4 year degree in aviation? Obviously I'd like to try the cheapest route if at all possible. I don't have a family and I do have a fallback career in case of hard times, but this is a dream I've always had and am just trying to see if it's still at all realistic. Any help you can offer is much appreciated. Thank you.
