Mom has a point. She graduated college as a teacher,
She knows im not a people person and im shy. The thing
That frustrates me about Aviation as a career, is that you
Have to CFI to advance. Most any other career you
Don't teach as entry level, but you do it after years
Of life experience. A truck driver dose not teach for
His first job, he goes OTR. Why are there not more
Entry level jobs for a pilot? If you ask me, 135 cargo should
Be entry level. This career is frustrating as it is now, with the
1500 hour rule.

I have to disagree. He just has to find the right job. I flew pipeline patrol and had very little interaction with anyone.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but he's looking for a Career, I don't think pipelines going to put food on the table. (Not that most aviation jobs do.) :rolleyes:

Pipeline flying actually pays pretty well compared to other "entry level" jobs. Although I have found that even pipeline jobs are hard to come by with low time. A pretty big public utility flight department I know pilots from have several 182s and they pay their full time skyline drivers over 50k a year.
