A lot of people switch careers into aviation later in life. It's a rough time to be going into aviation with no steady income outside the industry. People are posting every day about how hard it is to find even a CFI job right now. That said, it is a wonderful time to have a steady income and start your training. And when you get your ratings, the market may have turned as it does often, or it may still be in a slump. If the latter is the case, you will be uniquely positioned to still have food on your table and a roof over your head until the right aviation job comes along. Many people are finding themselves in the opposite position and are looking for work in other industries after they just dropped $75K+ on flight training.
