Put my dream on hold?
#11
That's exacly what I'm affraid of will happen. I would only be promoted if the owner of the company will get several contracts in which case I would probably become the worldwide manager.
I want to do it because I would be able to save money for flight training and be back with my freinds. But I don't want to do it because I would be working for family and might get stuck there.
Do you think that 40k a year is a fair salary amount?

This COULD be one of those life changing decisions, so take your time deciding. If it had been me, and was offered a job at 40k/yr, or, continue my flight training, make pennies as a flight instructor, then make pennies as a regional FO, with the hope of making 60k+ after an upgrade....well, I would have stuck it out, got my ratings, and followed my dream. Luckily for me, i didn't get an opportunity like that, so i continued my training anyway.
After getting in though, doing some time, i got out, and found a normal job, decent salary, good bennies, and hung the hat up, might get back in eventually, but A LOT will have to change before i do, best of luck w/ ur choice.

Ich bien ein Deutche/Amerikaner. My advise to you would be that the job back in Germany would be a distraction. You need to finish your college diploma first and foremost. Taking a comfortable job like this one, at your age, will only move you farther away from your dream. In my honest and respectful opinion, if you are considering taking a job that will move you farther away from becomeing a professional pilot, then maybe you aren't as passionate about being a professional pilot as you think you are. I was offered a great job by a friend of mine where I would have made $100,000+ a year. I told him respectfully no. Why? Because I knew it would have meant the end of my dream. Aint no WAY I would have wanted to demote myself down to $22,000 my first year as a professional pilot.
