I am seriously considering leaving aviation to go back to grad school and become a history teacher. I am 26, have accomplished most of my professional goals already (Captain/Manager of Part 91 Turbo Prop), and i'm realizing my wants and needs are changing. I am doing a dream job right now for good pay, and very little work, and I don't think i'd be happy with any other flying job when this one eventually ends. I've been thinking about the advice most older corporate pilots i've met have given me (get out now while your young enough for something new), and I think the time is now, and it will only be harder the longer I wait.
I've been putting a lot of thought into the joys of flight, and i've realized that for me, it's not so much the physical manipulation of the controls and the views out the window, but the respect, authority and responsibility of the job that I enjoy. I think that can be found elsewhere.
Anyhow, I still have a lot of soul searching to do, but i'm looking to see if anyone else on here has left aviation to become a teacher?
Thx
