Default Many of us

I was 17 years old and working at a gas station to make my aviation dreams come true. I worked long into the night to save up for each hour of flight. Slowly and over several years of sacrifice I eventually made it to my commercial and CFI. I took a short breather and then began to climb the next long series of hills. Once I reached the top I realized that there was nothing there.

Get a real job. When you are older you can save up and buy a small plane of some kind. You have got the rest of your life to try and make this dream come true. A better plan is to try and figure out how you can make a living first.

Another idea is to get a four year degree then join the military.
