anywhooo, I don't know what this says about me, but I really want to just fly as a career....flying for fun doesn't come across my mind often
anyone care to pick at my mind
Building on what USMC laid out for you, why don't you take 'Option 2' and use the funds from your "desk job" to finance your flight training?
Once you get to the COMM/CFI crossroad, you'll be at a much better place in your life in which to make some very important decisions.
Maybe you'll have decided that flying for fun is more for you, maybe the military, maybe corporate, and so on.
You made a smart move not investing $200K or so at this stage in your life. It could've worked out or it could've devastated you financially. Too rich of a gamble for my blood.
Seriously consider getting an engineering degree and position and do the flight training part-time and without significant loans.
