Default New to the industry

Hi everyone, I am extremely new to this industry but I am very excited for it. I just recently decided I am going to make the change from working in the finance field to aviation. I recently took my intro flight out of Mesa, Arizona; a flight school called Falcon Aviation. We flew out of a Piper Archer II and I loved it. They didn't have a Cessna avail to fly at the time. I am 6'3 I weigh approx 275 and I felt comfortable in the piper. The ground school is based off of I believe I may be wrong though Cessna online school program.

Any tips or advice you recommend for me. Also I was advised to purchase the Bose A20s so the I have the best headset out there and won't need to upgrade for many many years to come.


Thank you so much for having me here!

See if f you can rent several different headsets from the local pilot shop before you make a decision.
Bose, that’s a $1000 headset, that’s 4-5 hrs dual, 6-7 hrs solo or about 15-20hrs ground-school.
Once you’ve decided which model you like go on Craigslist or Ebay and buy used for less then half the new price.
