You need to look at this industry with some realism. DON'T become a professional pilot. Make money doing something else and if you really love flying that much then buy a plane and do it as a hobby (it will be cheaper, honestly!) This industry is in the toilet thanks to airlines like Ryanair. They are set the standard for pay for training, no pay until line checks, etc, etc. Things will only get worse. RUN while you can!! I know people will rip me apart for posting this, but I don't want to see you end up in serious debt, mortgage the family house, etc.
