Thank you for the advice. That's a lot to take in. I am going to read your site for some more info.
What about attempting to be a helicopter pilot? Any info on that? I have always been fascinated by both rotary and fixed wing. I really want to fly and would love to make it a career, but now I'm not sure if I can do it financially.
I don't know about finding jobs, but I do know that helicopter training is significantly more expensive than fixed wing. I'm pretty sure there are a lot less jobs out there too. I met a guy who had put 100s of thousands of dollars into helo training and was working as a personal banker because he couldn't find a helo job.
Not trying to be negative and I'll be the first to admit that I'm no expert on helos but just what I've heard.
