Botom line: everywhere in the world, there are thousands of youngsters who dream about being an airline pilot.
But, at certain point one have to realise that they simply can't afford that, for many different reasons, the main of course is simply market laws.
So why spend precious time and money (usually father's) on pursuing a dream that have very dim chances to come true? Aviation career, except for a few lucky ones, is plenty of frustrations and have been losing a big part of its charm and 'package value' it had in the past.
Why not go to a prestige University, have a good degree on Engineering (India have a strong requirement for infrastructure for the next 50 years at least); or Medicine, IT or being a good lawyer?
Trust me, there are thousands of pilots all over the world that deeply regret for pursuing this career. Just check what happened with this industry in the latest 20 years. And there's no signs of any improvement in the foreseable future.
Don't limit your options, life is much more than get strapped on a shiny jet.
