Hello everybody.
I'm 20 years old and I'm in the Air National Guard of Ohio. I'm going to be leaving for my basic and tech school in March.
I went to college for a year and dropped out after realizing the expense of schooling and the benefits of the National Guard.
I have a $20,000 signing bonus, 100% of tuition paid for, the GI Bill and the Kicker as well.
I've had aspirations of becoming a pilot since I can remember, hopefully flying for a major airliner or a corporate jet.
Basically I'm about to take a shot in the dark unless you guys can help me out.
If you could let me know what kind of pay to expect these days, a typical work schedule, and how fun it is to pay off loans I'd greatly appreciate it.

When I was in school I took aviation as my major and heard a lot of mixed reviews. Most of the instructors had military training. I was told about pilots making $150K and I signed up.

Please help me out here, I'd one day like to own a bit of land and have a family. Is this going to be a diffculty?

What information you graciously give me is going to help me decide whether I want to be a pilot or a professor.
Please be 100% honest, I need all the pros and cons I can get. Basically let me know if you are content where you are, and tell me everything about being a pilot you can manage to type.

Thanks a Million.
Benson
