Sorry I wasn't clear. I'm just looking to fly for fun and get my PPL, I'm not at all interested in a career in aviation at this point.

Do you think if I worked up the ~20-30 hours of training needed to solo, it would be a bad thing to solo 2-3 hours a month for awhile? I think that's all I could afford at this point, and it would still get me up in the air every other weekend for a small amount of time.

As long as I could continually fly solo using my students license, I think I'd be happy for awhile.
