I've just left uni and I am considering what sort of career choice to make. Something that has always interested me is being a pilot, but I'd be the first to admit that I know very little about what the this job involves (something to do with those big things with wings, right? )
My first impression is that I would be away from home a lot, which I guess would be a downside. I've also heard that pilots are well paid and that its a very difficult to become one.
Would you agree with this?
Basically, would you recommend piloting as a career choice? What would you say are the main pros and cons?
I realise that this must be a very mundane thread for many of you pilots, but spare a few minutes to give your thoughts as you'd be really helping out many people in my position!
