Please I'm seeking for advice on pursuing a piloting career. I am 29yrs old, and i hold a degree in pharmacy. I have had an age long ambition to become a pilot but I everyone I share this dream with often seem to discourage me about the job prospects and all the politics involved in landing a commercial pilot job after. I am financially fit to sponsor myself for piloting school but I'm worried that after spending over $50k for training, I might not land a job quickly due to low flying hours.

Notwithstanding, I met a pilot who is typed rated on a320 and he flies for first nation and he told me he knew nobody when he got his job and he has heard about pilots who returned from training schools abroad but are areall unable to find a piloting job yet.

Please i need your advices Wether to pursue my dream and live fulfilled or remain in my business and pursue an MBA after putting in 5+ years on my current job.

I would say to pursue your dreams....even if it doesn't work out in the end at least you'll still have something to fall back on. i think that's better than not doing it and in the end wishing you had.

alternatively you could sponsor me to be come a pilot as that is also my dream but i am not financially fit to sponsor myself.
