When I was 15 I wanted to be a pilot, today I am a pilot. Before anyone starts, my parents couldn't afford that much, I never went to unis and now earn more than all of my friends who went to unis. Its all about determination and hard work, its not easy out there especially where I come from and started, we have to start from the very bottom to reach up the ladder slowly. The mindset of today generation is to get onto the right seat of a jet straight after flight school that is one of the reason why this proffesion is degrading, they overlook the real flying jobs and all they think is if the pilot uniform doesnt come with a cap and suit they think its a job......come on kids, if you want to be a pilot go for it but think about the reality its not easy out there to survive but not impossible.
