I'm lucky enough to have a job flying 717's and sleeping in my bed every night. Of course to get here it took a few years turning wrenches in the military, flying 135 freight in 50 year old airplanes, flying long-haul freight and being gone 18 days in a row every month (sometimes much more) and having someone walk in my resume to my current gig. Hopefully this is where I will retire. Your goals are possible, though more than likely will take many years of sacrifice to achieve. Things may also change as you mature and life circumstances change. Good luck, the ride will certainly be interesting.
