Default Taking the plunge

Hello,


I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'm 19 and considering training for being a pilot for a major or preferably corporate position.

From what I have read on this forum, it would probably take many years of hard work and luck to accomplish. But, I have been playing flying sims ever since I was 10 and I love the idea of being a pilot. Plus, my parents really want me to have a stable future.

Problem for me is I'm torn between two worlds, art and aviation. I have talent for painting and drawing and I really love to paint. I'm trying to decide which one would be a more rewarding career both lifestyle and financial wise. Thats why I'm asking for your guys wisdom. Should I start my training as a pilot now or pursue a career in art? And do you think corporate flying is the way to go?

P.S.

I Live in Vero Beach (FL) and being so close to FlightSaftey, I have scheduled a tour of the facilities and a flight.

All the best,

Justin.
