Ever since I can remember I have wanted to be a professional pilot and nothing else.
Now I'm 20 and don't know how to get there. After graduating high school I went to MNSU Mankto, MN and enrolled in their professional pilot degree program and stayed with it for my freshman year but the cost of school/living/flight training was overwhelming. All of my finances were through student loans.
I made the decision to work as much as I can for now to catch up on bills while I think about what way to take to become an airline pilot (even if it's a ways down the road).
I want to take the path of least resistance, both in terms of money and stress, but don't personally know any professional pilots to help guide me.
Of course with my luck, I get through everything but cross countries and my solo time on my PPL before I ran out of money.
A buddy of mine at the factory (ugh) told me that his brother went to Texas and did an accelerated program, then was flying for Mesaba. All before the age of 22! Is this really that common of a situation to base any part of my decision on?
Any help or advice would be a blessing to me at this point. I'm open for anything, flight instruct, banner towing or whatever so all ideas are welcome. Whichever way you think would work best for me
