Default What would you do???

Hello,

Quick question... Currently faced with the dilemma of whether or not to walk away from my non-flying contracting job to pursue my ULTIMATE passion of flying! I'm currently making 6-figures as an oversees contract, but this job/career is only for a temporary time period. In a picture perfect world I would like to have a large enough nest egg in-order to offset the mediocre pay at the regional level. But exactly how much would that be, I don't know.... Currently, I'am 31 and I have a B.S. degree from a reputable University along with my private pilot certificate. In this case what would you do??

A. Ride this contracting gig out until I have met ALL of my financial goals? "2-3 more years"

B. Leave contracting ASAP to pursue my passion of flying? "I'm not happy unless I'm flying"

c. Have at least 50-60k in savings before attending flight school to offset the pay for at least 4 years as an airline pilot? "Nest Egg"
