Finishing up mine now, couldn't get the checkride done last week but got the oral portion done. Just need to fly with the examiner.

Not sure what I'll do with it, it has cost a lot, but I enjoy flying and I've enjoyed learning a LOT along the way. You'll learn a little of everything: aerodynamics, systems, airspace, weather, etc.

Note this is NOT a cheap hobby. Not trying to discourage anyone, but I'm not sure I would do it all over again. I'm glad to be done, I'll have fun with it, but there aren't a lot of practical applications for a private (you'll need a commercial license to work for hire, plus a whole lot of flight hours).
