No experience. Where to start

I’m wondering how to start into all of this. I have wanted to become a pilot for a long time but haven’t committed anything due to fear of debt. I’m sick of going from job to job knowing I could have a career I would enjoy. I’m asking what the first steps to becoming a pilot would be. Could I just go into a flight school or do I need to get my PPL before I can even do that? What steps should I take to make this my career?

Michael,

The first thing you need to do is a little reading. There is a wealth of information on this forum including the answer to your question. Pilot training isn’t easy and requires a fair amount of self-study that means you often have to find the info for yourself. This is a good place to start: https://airlinepilot.life/t/how-do-i-become-an-airline-pilot/10891
