Answer 9

When the FAA Check Pilot handed me my temporary private certificate after my check ride in 1964, he said, "Well, you got through it.  This is a license to learn.  If you don't learn something new about flying every day, you need to quit.

I still fly, and I still learn something new every day.  So should you.

A more straightforward answer is to say that the Private certificate takes 4 months to 2 years, the Commercial takes 6 months to 5 years, and reaching the level required to be hired by an airline company takes 5 to 15 years.
