potentially you could make 300K in your early 30's as a pilot.
Show me where that job exists - if you're very,
very lucky, you might be on 1/4 of that!
Pilots' salaries are now as (relative to others) low as they have been during my time in this industry, and I'd strongly advise anyone looking at thinking of entering it, to have a good, hard look at other alternatives.
For the
enormous amount of money
you will outlay just to gain your basic qualifications, with absolutely NO guarantee of employment - and when you eventually do find work, it will be for a miserable salary - you're probably far, far better off financially undertaking another profession or craft, imho.
Then you can spend that money you've saved by NOT taking up flying - not just the training $$$$'s, but also the years spent wprking basically for love - to hire an aeroplane.
