@Dan. That's very similar to my story as well. However I have never been interested in a "desk job". That would be the reason I am trucking right now, but this certainly is not a lifestyle I can endure for any real length of time. I know that flying shares many similarities with trucking(time away from home, living on the road, etc) but I love airplanes not trucks. I certainly have never had anything handed to me and have had to figure things out on my own for the most part. So as I have said, I'm just worried about spending so much money on such an uncertain future.
So here is a new question for those of you flying for a living... Has it become a job yet? Are you "bored" of flying?
I know the answer will vary, just wondering. Thanks again for the help everyone!
