A little background,
I am 23 years old and currently work in the marketing field for a great company. I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, and I’ve been out working for two years! However, I already can see that I don’t want to be stuck in a cubicle my entire life. It has already begun to seem monotonous. I have no flight experience, but have done sit ins with my neighbor (a pilot), and have had extensive conversations with others about the possibility of becoming a pilot myself. Other than the job security, relatively flexible schedule, and competitive pay, I could simply see myself as being happy in the field and having a fulfilling career that I would be proud to hang my hat on.
I know the path isn’t easy, and it seems like there are a variety of ways to get started. I’m guessing since this is sponsored by ATP, that is the suggested route, but are there other ways to get started that I should be considering? Is there something I can do now to start getting ready? I’m in no hurry currently (Trying to save some money), so I guess I’m really just wondering where my next steps should be if I do decide this is what I want to do!
