Get into aviation and fly airplanes. There is a huge pilot shortage coming. That's what I did (airlines don't give a shite about what your degree is in as long as you have one) I haven't worked a day in the past year it feels like
How does one get into that? How does one go about learning to fly a plane? I have flown model airplanes and flight simulators before, but I've always wanted to fly small private air crafts and Cessnas.

There are a few different ways to get into aviation, but I'm not sure I'd get in now and try to make a career out of it.
Lessons- you'll need $$$$. You're probably north of $10K now for a private pilot's license and that won't get you in the door anywhere, except the military. And for the military, I'm not sure I'd get in now and try to make a career out of it.
There are also many schools that you can graduate with $100K student loans and they will get you the ratings you'll need to make $18K a year at a regional with potential to flow to a major after you get the 1000 hrs of Pilot-in-command time you'll need to be hired.
