Did you pay out of pocket for all your time and ratings? Is it possible to get hired to fly anything without a college degree? I'm a PPL/ASEL who works full time as a firefighter. I've only got around 25 hours PIC time with one year of time since getting my ticket. I'm in a flying club, building hours in the club 172 (at $70 an hour wet BTW) working toward my IFR and hopefully commercial ticket. When I retire from firefighting in 15 years I'm hoping to find any kind of paid gig flying. I'll tow banners, gliders and sling sky divers. I'd really like to maybe ferry aircraft for a broker or something. Any advice for me to steer my future retirement career that direction? Thanks!
