As you can see here, those who holds a Private Pilot License only and was trained in a pilot school ONLY for their Private Pilot License cannot charge anyone money for their services and are only allowed to fly under VFR.

With an Instrument Rating, these Private Pilots will then be allowed to fly at night time or during low visibility scenarios such as bad weather including fog, thunderstorms, or it would also be highly useful if you have accidentally flown into clouds.

With the Commercial Pilot License, on the other hand, pilots have the authority to charge people for money. You will be able to work in a major airline company and fly across the globe, this, of course, is the most common one. However, there are so many options you can take for a job.

For example, you will be able to charge money for anyone who would like to charter an aircraft, you could also become a cargo carrier, an aviation entrepreneur, a fire-fighting pilot, there are so many options.

You could even become a Emergency Medical Service Pilot. You will be needed to transport organs or patients in critical conditions from one hospital to another. Maybe even from one country to another. You will be playing a huge role in saving a person’s life. You are the unspoken hero!
