I have wanted to fly as a profession (airline, charter, corporate, whatever) for as long as I can remember. I'm 30, and maybe will finally reach my PPL this summer. Is it realistic (or sane) to continue thinking I could fly for a living? I've considered the point many of you make: do something else and fly on the side, keep the fun in it. I have, and I don't really know what I would want to do. That isn't what I'm here for. I want honest thoughts or experiences on whether a career is likely still or if I should move on. Thanks!
