Working in another industry and hold a license. I was surprised when reading ppjn salaries for Germania and other companies. In regards to the pay, lack of benefits like pension and being contracts only. Other industries offer highly trained professionals, good overall packages.
Why would someone want to now train to be a commercial pilot with all that is involved, then maybe expected to pay for a rating or consider a pay to fly scheme. Then possibly spend years paying off debts / slowly getting salary or hourly increments and not a lot more possibly.
