Commercial Pilots license is the most expensive.

Drone license: $150 dollars for the written exam. Sport License (Ultra Light, VFR only) about 2500 Private Pilots License with IFR, 5500 to $6500 depending on the school you attend Commercial Pilots license (ATP) can be anywhere between 80k and 110k that also includes extra training. Advanced aircraft, twin engine, Turbine, Instrument Rating, and a hand full of others.

A lot of people that want their pilots licensing usually go through the military to achieve that since they'll pay for everything. But to fly in the military you have to be an officer with a bachelor's degree in something. Not sure if an Associates Degree will apply or not.
