I'm a teenager considering a career as a pilot. As someone who finds flying to be a passion, I'm worried turning it into a job is the quicket way to make me hate it. With an industry that terrible starting pay (~20,000), 16 hour duties, and being forced to sleep in crashpads and eat shitty food, I'm worried I shouldn't make it a career. Flying is something that I immensely enjoy and is a great passion of mine. Should I look for alternatives in the corporate sector? Are the terrible conditions and pay worth the reward of flying? Thanks. I'd like to get in the corporate sector but I imagine it's hard without prior commercial or military experience.
