jasonfalter Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I'm 32 married and live in Atlanta GA. What I want to know is if getting a license and going at this full force will give me a good career. Of course the guy who would be my instructor is all gung ho and thats good but I want to hear from people that live, work ,and breath in the field and who do not have flight instructor as their main job title. I know you can get loans for the school but I want to be sure that I can get a job (I know flight instructor comes first to gain hours, but after that) when I am finished with the training. I don't want to be stuck with a giant loan and no options. Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arotrhd Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 If you have a positive attitude, patience and a willingness to keep learning, the industry, in my opinion, will be quite viable. Keep in mind the first few years may not be glamorous or bring the $$ that you might be used to, but persistence, good personal atributes and networking will likely 'land' you a great position, and eventually you would have the control to determine the compensation/job/aircraft/location that you want. If you haven't done so, read VRs training info and from some other sites as well to get a better perspective on what you can expect. -WATCH FOR THE WIRES- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
