I am a private pilot and will tell you - learning to fly has become absurdly expensive. Renting a 40 year old Cessna in the San Jose area is $120 and hour, instructors are $50… You need about 70 hours to get your private and about 500 to get your commercial and instrument ratings - which are required to get paid to fly. Those jobs simply don’t pay enough to make the investment worth while. But for a handful of roles, you are a bus-driver in the sky.

If you want to fly, be an engineer, perhaps even for an aviation company like Textron. Earn a solid paycheck and fly recreationally
