Hello.

So I've been doing the odd lessons spread over a few years to get my PPL with more regular ones this year. Before I took my first trial lesson I thought about a career change to a commercial pilot, so had a trial lesson to see if I liked it and I did ! so here I am with a few more hours towards my ppl but now like most don't see any light at the end of the tunnel to a career as a pilot which is now making me think do I just stop completely and not even get my ppl. I know a lot we say get a ppl and fly for fun add ratings etc but I still don't see the point if I'm not going to get the job at the end. It seems a waste of money. Am I literally talking myself out of it or actually maybe this career isn't for me and face facts that I might just enjoy flying but don't want it as a career ?

Anyone else in or been in this situation ?
