If you want to have fun and work at the same time go into porn or making balloon animals. Almost everyone used to dream about being a pilot... it's almost a right of passage, like the whole 'dinosaurs phase'.
If you want to be a respectable professional pilot do not try to buy a job with a fake cadetship. Pay an instructor to teach you, learn to fly, hit the road, work, work, work, play, work, work, work, play, work, work, work then work some more just in case you missed a bit.
You say that you "have read all the other threads..." and you say that you are "very intelligent" so why are you asking these questions?
I'm not trying to be mean, just calling a spade a spade and maybe a wind-up a wind-up.
