The most obvious career choice for a pilot is to work for a commercial airline. These airlines employ hundred of pilots to fly from one end of the world to the next, everyday of the week.

If you stick with things long enough you will eventually work your way up to being a pilot of a major airline company.
Another career path that you may want to look into is becoming a private pilot. There are many people who need pilots to fly them around the world based off of their busy schedule. You can even start your own chartering Business if you have enough interest in this line of work. Although it may take some time and money to get started, you can make much more in the long run.
Overall, there are many careers that you can follow if you are interested in becoming a pilot. You may be up against a bit of competition, but when you think about it this is the same regardless of what type of career you are interested in. The key is to find out what careers are available, and then make a decision early on as to what path you want to follow.

Can anyone give advice on pilot careers? Most especially on Multi-Engine building time.?
Good day! I’m planning to take up my private pilot course here in our country and perhaps transfer abroad for my CPL. I saw this school that offers 200+ hours Multi-Engine time professional pilot package. My question is that, are airline companies considering those pilots with Multi-Engine flying time to be hired? Would it be a good choice to fly more on Multi-Engine?

Yes. The companies are a fan of the ME rating. http://www.pilotjobs.com and check the current hiring minimums. I think they recommed about 200 ME.

Yes. In order to be considered for most airline pilot jobs, you will need (as a minimum) a commercial pilot’s certificate and several hundred hours of multi-engine time. About the only work you can get without multi time is as a flight instructor.

it sounds like you were looking at ATP flight school.. multi engine time has great value.. but then again, i got hired, with just 15 hours of multi time, as a first officer for a cargo operator.. if you want to jump into the airlines right away, then you will want atleast 50 hours.. most big schools like ATP are partners with regional airlines.. that basically means they will hire you with low time (50 hours).. but if you go to a small FBO for training then the regionals will want to see you with anywhere from 100-500 hours of multi time… to get hired with low time, like i did, you will need to know the right people.. i went to Western Michigan Univeristy, and they are the reason why i got this job.. it’s really just a question of cost and risk.. are you willing to pay for that much multi time? if so, then you’ll probably have an easier time finding a job.. i dont want to fly for the airlines so multi time was as important to me.. now im flying a 60k pound aircraft and not paying for multi time..
