What did you do before becoming a pilot?? To pay for it?

• Mowed Lawns
• Worked in a warehouse which stored and/or pulped confidential documents.
• Spent one long long hot summer cataloguing one million manila folders in an old dusty inner suburban warehouse.
• Worked in a shop selling tents rockcliming gear and ski gear
• Drove tiptrucks delivering garden soil, firewood and gravel.

That's all I can think of.
