It is not an impossible thing to do ...
....but you have to be resolutely focusedand driven. Almost to the point that people will call you obsessed, questionyou and make fun of you. My advice to you is as follows
1. Why to do you want to be a pilot? Settle this in your mind and heart. Becausethere are days you will ask yourself why? This is not what I signed up for.Getting money is only part of it. Flight training is not a cake walk even moreso for the unprepared, not to talk of the job hunting process and the careerup's and down's (Trust me in this industry they are bound to come its only amatter of time) Once you have settled this in your own mind as to why you wantto be a pilot move to number 2
2. Begin to think, act, behave like a pilot and most importantly interactand talk with “Professional” pilots (ie people who take their profession andcareer seriously). If you think, act, behave, know the things that professionalpilots know chances are you are one or on your own way to becoming one. Don’tgo around pretending like something you are not. But ask questions, don't beafraid to look stupid (just make sure it happens only once and it is not aregular occurrence). Opening this thread on this forum is a big part of it andhopefully you have read and continued to read as much of this forum as possible.(Note this is a rumor forum with anonymity so you have crazies on here that areclueless). Number 2 only has value with number 3 below.
3. Use absolutely everything you have in your inventory to get what you wantand where you want to go to. Looks, skills, ideas, free labor, contacts (akanetworking) e.t.c. to get yourself in front of the people that matter and makedecisions. Trust me if you do number 2 very well when you get in front of theright person you will not sound like someone begging for money to be a pilot.No my friend your demeanor, mannerisms, knowledge base will say to everyone whoknows jack about our industry that this gentleman/lady is going to be a pilot it’sjust a matter of time and how can I help this person.
4. Pray, have faith, good luck, karma, timing, e.t.c . Basically things outof your control because if we are all honest as pilots and successful aviation professionalsthere is no way we got to where we are without a little bit (or for some of usa lot) of divine intervention.
(Note; the following are not sole reasons to become a pilot, Pay (many othercareers pay more without the added risk and stress) Women (if you are smart, confidentand have money you can always have more than enough, once again without theadded risk and stress, more over if you are a jerk you are a jerk a pilots uniformdoes not cure jerkerdness and you will still be a turnoff to good women and youwill attract only the crazies) and the list goes on...
