I'm definitely not in a rush, but I would rather learning then partying and such. Thank you all for the comments and help, but my main priority is to build a few hours and learn as much as I can while I'm young.
This is something my heart is set on, and it's not about the money. I know it can take many years to even get an interview with an airline, but I feel like I am ready to take on the challenge! Side jobs such as instructing or scenic flights is something I'd happily do to gain hours and more knowledge. I know this is all a long, long way ahead but I know the challenges I have to face.
I'm even happy that I know what I want to do as a profession, most people my age are absolutely clueless. My father is extremely supportive and is willing to pay for most of this. I'm also saving up money from a fast food store to help pay for some lessons. $9\hr isn't that bad...
