Todays Cost of getting a PPL

Then you probably have an illegal or very old copy of MSFS.

I checked. The actual price was 39 euro.

Then how can you legally install and run your flight sim?

The owner of the computer has loaned it to me for my use, since I
cannot afford a computer of my own.

France is a signatory to the Berne Convention of 1986 regarding
intellectual property law.

So?

Most of us (actually, I'd estimate 99.9% of us here) have worked
and saved and made choices in order to fly.

Most of you have not been wiped out and deprived of employment by
economic changes, either.

Let's see...

Company #2 - no longer exists
Company #3 - went bankrupt
Company #4 - very little exists and they changed the business
and most of us were forced to leave
Company #5 - what a laugh (Digital Equipment)
Company #6 - hid in grad school for 3 years because there were no
jobs
Company #7 - Contract only lasted 18 months
Company #8 - local office pretty much shut down, I was offered
St. Louis, but I decided I'd rather be unemployed in
Colorado than in St. Louis.
Company #9 - State of Colorado job - major cutbacks, and I was a newbie
Company #10 - their contract ended, they didn't get renewed, we're
all looking for new work
Company #11 - soon, I hope. I'm actively looking.

Yes, I've been deprived of employment far too many times...I don't
even worry about it anymore.

If I was economically deprived (and that's an excuse used by people who
expect someone to take care of them), I'd do something about it instead of
sitting around trolling on the internet and playing aviation sims.


There are unlimited options to be a success if you'll try:

Move somewhere conditions are better.

Get training in a different field than the one that isn't working as well as
you'd hoped.

Figure out a way to do something better, faster, or cheaper and be an
entrepreneur.

Working harder is always an option. Regardless of the economy, people still
need the necessities of life. Find a job that helps provide those things.

Then take a second job.

Then take a third job.

Most of us have gone out and gotten jobs even after set-backs. It's called
getting off you ass and doing something.
