To persue some kind of career as a pilot, you need to be a commercial pilot.

Trust me on this - when most people think of "commercial" pilots, they are thinking
"airline pilots". I know this because I get this all the time. I'm talking to friends or
relatives who know I fly for a living, or I'm introduced to someone who has just
learned that I fly for a living. Someone will invariably ask if I plan to "go commercial"
eventually. I've given up trying to explain that what I'm doing *is* commercial flying.
I just say, "Yes, I'm working on getting an airline job." I have learned that *that* is
the question they're asking.

To persue some kind of career as a pilot, you need to be a commercial
pilot.

The way I read that is "I want to be a commercial pilot, but I don't have to
be,
just flying privately would be nice".
