You've just made me a happy happy man.

That is wild to me, I always figured the variables involved with jet engine management would bring a host of new certifications. Which reminds me: is there a place on this forum I can lurk around and see technical discussions about prop pitch, jet management, meteorolgy, avionics, etc? I feel...

When did you start training and what do you do now? I'm trying my hardest to remind myself that the money is just a means to an end and the real goal will always be professional pilot. I'm trying to keep my life as free of responsibilty as I can until I become a pilot just so I don't get locked...

I will probably take out some small loans to help. I'll be saving up approx. Half of tuition over the next 6 months and school is only abput $15k. Given that entry level ultrasound techs make $45 right off the bat I should only be under about a year's worth of debt.

There is noone around to pay for me and I can't STAND the idea of taking handouts from people. Why did you avoid airlines? I'm not entirely sure I want to do airlines either. Something tells me I would miss the feeling of actually flying the plane. I did my discovery flight in a 172 that had a...

So how do you get jet time, internship style? Do you just get all your certs, build your hours, and try to get a right seat for a regional?

Well my plan right now is once I get a good job as an ultrasound tech to put money away for a little bit and work up to my CFI privately and hopefully transition into a full time CFI and do contract ultrasound work on the side. I'm hoping that will give me the resources I need to build hours...

Also how did you do your training? Did you do it privately or through a college of some sort? I haven't the slightest idea how you get multi-engine time in jets without attending a college or university. My current goal is to become an MEII and I've got that path figured out, but I know I'll...

Do you think my age will disqualify me from flying in some of the bigger aircraft later? If everything works out I'm looking at about 32 before I can start flight training and I've heard that if you're over 30 when you start your chances of flying airlines plummets. My end goal dream job would...

I'm currently brainstorming ways to become a professional pilot and I would like some input. I'm 25, love flying (done flight sims for 13 years and rocked my discovery flight) and I'm certain I want to make a career out of this, but I'm limited financially. My current plan is to save money and...
