Don't get me wrong. I would love to have a job flying corporate or
airlines, but is the current trend going to continue in few jobs for a
lot of pilots?

I have also thought about a seperate career. However, as farfetched as
it may sound, 30 years from now, there very well may be good business in
space travel. I've always wanted to go through an aviation career
towards that goal. Would a job in airlines or corporate help me with
that goal just from flying hours? Or will it be completely unrelated?

I guess what I'm asking is, are there pilots working for people like
Vigin Galactic that do not have a military background? Perhaps one in
the civilian sector?

Well, when I was 16, the idea of space travel in 30 years really only looked
and sounded far fetched to the old farts. But the 30 years came and went;
and the old farts were replaced by newer old farts and, in a little more
than another decade, a second 30 years will have come and gone...

The idea is still very cool, but a good backup plan is very much in order.
