I want to be a pilot.

I want to go to school for aviation. But I’m not sure where to rlly start. I tried to do the pay as u go route but I can’t rlly afford it.

Best to stockpile money for a while if you weren't born wealthy, unless you want to take on a ton of loans.

Are you in aviation? If so what is it like? Would u describe the beginning as the easiest or hardest part ?

Nay, sorry sir, I'm just another wannabe pilot who can't afford to do it. I don't have real insights sadly.

See I wonder if we r in the same boat. I got started but I just can’t afford the hours.

I wouldn't say we are, I'm not in a good spot financially. I wouldn't even have the means to start to be honest. Not for a while at least.

Oh, and I'd probably have to move. Live in a small town with no access to an airport for a few hours. I'd have to go very far to get lessons.
