Your first order of business is to pay off your credit card debt ASAP. Don't go into more debt and definitely don't avoid working a job that can help you pay it off just because you think you're too good for it. You can't afford that right now. Sounds like you have a great financial situation in that you don't even have to pay rent so you can take almost all of your money and send it straight toward paying off your debt. Once your debt is gone then pursue what you want to do next

I really like Plan A. It's not risk free, but seems like a calculated risk that will likely pay off if you keep your shit together and bust your ass.

real estate shit you can do whenever. the plane shit, maybe not.

No college, no job, debt...

so you're telling me the only thing you have is half an airplane and you're still doubting plan A?

$55 an hour as an independent only happens if you can line up paying customers. And your marketing and insurance costs have to come out of that. $25 an hour working for a flight school is probably more likely. So, it costs $10,000 in additional debt to get a job that pays $10 an hour more than the kind of shit job you can find immediately. Hmm ... I'm not wild about that ROI.

What about truck driving school? A lot of companies will pay for your training if you agree to work for them for a certain period. And at least around here, with a CDL, you can pretty much write your own ticket! Work for a year, clear your debts, build a nest egg, then pursue your real estate or flight instructor options.
