Flying career or become an accountant
I have all my commercial requirements, I just need to learn the maneuvers and take the checkride. After that I was planning to do my CFI. However, my wife and I just had a baby and I am wondering if that would be the best move. With a Bachelors in Management and no job prospects with that I was thinking about going back to college for accounting. The starting pay is between 35-45K and I would be home every night. However, there is the possibility of earning that with 2nd to 3rd year FO pay and during tax time an accountant could spend between 50-80 a week at work. With a passion for aviation I would like to be able to fly often, but with a 40K salary that wouldn't seem possible. It would take be a little less than a year to complete the accounting degree. Any accountants out there with some info? Has anyone been able to start a flight career with a bunch of debt and a new family? What would be the best move? Just looking for some advice.
Thanks everyone.
