Well, the thing is, it's vital to have a backup plan, just like it's always vital to have a diversionary plan on any route you're flying. So if the regional life turns out to be not what I had hoped, I can always go back to my old career. That's why I strongly advise younger guys to get a degree in something non-aviation, so that if aviation doesn't work out, they can get a 'regular' job and fly for fun. In this day and age, focusing on one career path to the exclusion of all other possibilities is just asking for trouble...
