Stay away from aviation

I was a commercial aviation major from 2007-2011. I graduated and didnt get a job from the college as a flight instructor. They do not gaurantee flight instructor jobs, even after youve paid them 150,000 in flight instruction costs. I currently do not fly because most pilots at the regionals and majors are military pilots anyway. It is a very competitive profession and contrary to what they say, there are plenty of pilots out there. Be very wary of this flight school. You may consider going to a 2 yr school instead, or picking a different 4 yr degree. Aviation costed me hundreds of thousands of dollars and is not what I currently do for a living. Do you think you can compete with a multi million dollar tax paid military pilot? If yes, then by all means jump in, but you may be living out of hotels and working for a regional for a long time.
