That is rough, no doubt. But, I firmly believe if flying is your DREAM, you could make it work somehow and still keep your dreams alive. It may take longer as well. I guess that is a personal decision and one only a guy/gal in that situation could figure out with alot of thought and support from family.

As stated before, best of luck to SkyHigh. I hope you can realize your dreams someday.
