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.
How do most civilian pilots earn their time if their only making 10K per year, thats lower than minumum wage? Are most pilots in this situation supported by someone or living on credit while builiding enough time to be considered by the majors.
