Aviation is a big world.
It attracts thousands of youngsters every year as it offers glamourous lifestyles and opportunities to travel abroad, besides unlimited growth and excitement. Depending on the kind of working environment one prefers, one may choose to be aloft a cockpit or in a cabin of a plane or on solid ground in an office, on a production line, or on an airport ramp. Certain disciplines do require training, while others are available right at the entry level. However, before one signs up at the nearest flying school, one should be fully aware of both the positive and negative factors that this lucrative career has to offer. The greener side of the picture is that privatisation has indeed resulted in a huge demand for commercial pilots.
