I never finished college and it limited my employment opportunity in the Major airline industry...But, I would say I have had a more successful career than most...I've been a widebody captain flying all over the world since my 20s...I never relied on my employer for retirement, so I've invested wisely...The pilot group I fly with for the most part is outstanding and a pleasure to fly with. My company is like all the others and think pilots are a commodity and not a profession. We're not fighting about seniority numbers or which merged airline bought who...I'm lucky...And that's all....finish college because it's now the new high school diploma.
