Went to four year college and paid for it myself because they were saying at the time you should have the degree to fly. Spent more time than normal in college cause I had to pay myself. After college took four years to complete flight training because I had to pay myself. First "real"flying job paid so low I became homeless, but continued to fly with the company. Finally quit. I needed quick fix on finances and went into truck driving. I find myself now 37 and have realized I have spent the better part of my youth chasing a dream, but still find myself wanting to fly. Will flying take the rest of my life as I probably will never get out of the commuters and thus never have a house or a life. Is it really worth it to become a professional pilot? I think not. Youth beware--think long and hard before going into this profession.
