Take all the letters in "aviation" ... move them to any configuration you wish, and it will never spell "cheap", so buckle up your wallet if you want to gain advanced ratings.
I presently hold a Commercial, Instrument, multi engine, low level acrobatic, restricted category, and agriculture endorsement ratings, as well as several type certificates for sundry business jets and heavy multi engine aircraft. Over the years, I've flown passengers, freight, medical patients, bank checks, movies, money, and criminals [federal marshal prisoner transfer contract], done bank repossessions, fish spotting, forest fire fighting, and airshows, as well as long grueling seasons spraying nasty chemicals by airplane of various crops. All for the love of flying. I have no idea how old you are, but I suggest if you want to do the above, start early, bring money, and pack lightly. Along the way, I've made money, lost friends [and ex wives] and squandered fortunes in pursuing my ultimate mistress, aviation.. If you love it enough.. go for it.. if you don't .. well.. you will know the answer.
