Hey guys, I'm looking for any insight into my future flying career. Thanks in advance for taking the time to review and respond, I truly appreciate it.

After a couple long, insanely boring years of business school, I gave up my future 9-5 desk job, and decided to chase my dreams of becoming a pilot (stop with the eye rolling, best decision I've ever made). For what it's worth, I'll end up with a degree in Aviation Management. I left the university and began flight school in January of '09, where my passion for aviation quickly morphed into addiction. I'm 21, have my PPL, am working towards my instrument rating, and completed a flight ops internship this summer with a major carrier.

As far as my future career in flying, I'm at a loss. Prior to the internship, I was mostly interested in flying for an airline, however, after numerous jumpseating opportunites, I'm not sure the airline lifestyle suits me. I understand the industry is currently at a low, and being that the cost of flying is so expensive, I've been considering other options. My ultimate goal is to fly, but at this point, I've also been considering joining the ANG (not to become a pilot). I've been in contact with a few friends who work in avionics at our local fighter wing, so I'm learning the pros and cons of joining the military. What I'm asking, is, from my standpoint, is it better to go the civilian, or military route? I hesitate to mention that I'm a woman, but I've been told it may make a difference, ha ha.

Many thanks if you got through that. I realize my timing in entering the world of aviation isn't perfect, and I know many of you will warn me, and I thank you for your truth. In reality, though, I cannot see myself working in any other industry... so I may end up broke, I know. I assure you, I've got a plan-- to marry rich (you can learn to love anyone, right?!). Only kidding, of course ;)
