Well, a few things.
1) you don’t need to pay money to take a course or do an FAA test to get your pet 107 cert for Remote Pilot. As long as you’re Sport Pilot or higher, you do a free class on the FAA website and have someone sign you off in IACRA.

2) drones aren’t hard to fly

3) the drone industry is brutal. They’re so cheap, and almost nobody cares about the rules (except for those of us who even know that rules exist and have something to lose). And since you can get a $150 drone that takes “good enough” pictures of a house for real estate sales...you can see the issue.

sure, there are other things drones are use for, but from what I can see, that specialized stuff is in-house and the drones are REALLY expensive.

do lots of research and be careful who you give your money to.
