If you don't want to starve for a while this career isn't for you.

As an flight instructor you'll make 10K if your really lucky.
As an entry level commercial pilot (commuters) you'll make 18-20k.
Not to mention have an unstable future.

I'm sure you've read all this on the forums-these things shouldn't be a big surprise.

Keep in mind this is just a job like and other and the charm will wear off.

You just have to go with your gut and stand by your desicion.
