Cptdivz I think you need a reality check old son. If you are already considering that one of your factors for becoming a pilot is making a shed load of money then you are not the sort of person that will become a career pilot. I don't think I even knew how much I got paid for the first 10 yrs of my flying career, I didn't really care... all I wanted to do was fly. This industry is a rollercoaster of good times and bad times. Unless you have the passion to see it through the bad, you will fall by the wayside. If you really want to fly, don't concern yourself with how much you will earn, just focus on how you are going to get your licence and then a job.. It won't be handed to you on a plate just because you are a University graduate.
