In order to become a pilot you should refer below points-

1- T here are college degree programs available. Commercial airlines tend to prefer applicants with a bachelor's degree over those with an associate's degree.

Majoring in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, physics or computer science may provide a good educational foundation for pilots. Airlines prefer applicants who have taken liberal arts courses, along with classes such as aeronautical engineering. Flight school classes are typically taught by an instructor who is certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

2- According to the BLS, prior to earning a pilot's license, a pilot-in-training needs to log a minimum of 250 hours of flight experience.

3- After obtaining the necessary flight hours, applicants 18 years or older can complete the rest of the requirements for a commercial pilot's license from the federal government. Pilots must pass a physical examination to ensure they have good vision and hearing as well as no physical impairments that might interfere with flight performance. Candidates must also pass a written exam that includes safety information and a skills test that is observed by an FAA-certified instructor.

If you're referring to nations where one could obtain flight training with excellent facilities and a reasonable cost of living, you can go training in Australia, Canada, South Africa or the United States.

All the Best!!
