Hello, I'm a student in high school and I recently became interested about pursuing a professional pilots degree. Most of the things I can find online about this career field are very broad, and I just had several questions I was hoping could be answered for me. These questions are:
1. How can you get a start as a professional pilot?
2. How has the career changed as pilot?
3. With technology advancing every day, what is the outlook for pilots in the coming years?
4. What's the difference in work environment for commercial as opposed to private?
5. What are typical hours for a pilot?
6. Can you maintain a family as a professional pilot?
7. What is the difference between working for a larger airline or working for a smaller airline?
8. What are the differences between passenger and cargo pilots?
9. What are the best schools to attend for a professional pilots degree?
10. What can I do this summer to get started working toward becoming a pilot?

Any help with these questions would be much appreciated, thank you!
