"Becoming a commercial pilot is all about the passion and achieving a dream."
No it's not...that's what passionate dreamers believe! There are endless numbers of students progressing through integrated CPL courses who sound just like the OP: wanted to do something different because they were in a dead-end job, sold on the perceived glamour of an airline job by the glossy ATO advertising, know very little about what the job actually entails or what to anticipate during either training or employment and have little or no interest in flying or aviation and yet, often they find employment and then start complaining about how much better their life was before, how much they miss weekends and bank holidays off, seeing friends and family, money etc. A friend of mine owned several rental properties some years ago prior to embarking on a successful flying career in his thirties, and now, approaching retirement, has regrets about letting the properties go and not pressing on with a career as a landlord.
Equally, there are many who do not pursue a flying job on completion of training because they discover during training that they don't really like flying. A bit like an expensive trial lesson I suppose!
I have always considered myself an enthusiastic, motivating soul who enjoys the flying environment and, on the whole, the people who are attracted to it. I entered a career imagining I would meet likeminded types, however my experience over 25 years of professional aviation is that the 'enthusiasts' are in the minority and most take the view that it is not so much a flying career but rather a career in which you fly. Frankly, if I'd been motivated by money and lifestyle, I'd have chosen something else...like property development.
Good Luck.
