After finishing university I managed to get myself a decent job which paid enough in order for me to start learning to fly.
Started learning at 20 years young, gaining my PPL at 21 Years Old.
More recently obtained my FAA CPL/IR at the grand old age of 26.
Flew through 500 hours total time on Saturday (I'm still 26) - not many but a personal goal.
Going to start the JAA ATPL writtens pretty soon.
A friend at my home base started learning before sixteen. He solo'd on his sixteenth birthday and will probably have his PPL on his 17th Birthday.
