Is 32 too old to make career switch?
Hi everyone,
Do you think that as a 32 year old, it is too late for me to pursue a career flying? I have always been interested in taking the plunge and pursuing the necessary ratings to make a career switch but life has gotten in the way.
On the plus side:
-No wife/kids to support
-Have the 4-year degree requirement
-Could pay for my entire flight training out of pocket without incurring any debt
-Personality type is such where I do not have a status driven personality (ego would be okay with never making it to the left seat of an international wide-body)
-If I didn't do this I'd likely go to grad-school, so further education is already on the horizon anyway
On the negative side:
-I'm 32
-Have 3 hours of total logged flight time
-Would like to be able to financially support a family in my 40s (which I have heard is very difficult to do as a junior professional pilot)
Would like to hear other's thoughts as to the feasibility of this idea.
