Wow... I want to do the same but in reverse.
Dang Foxcow...
I am nearly in the same position as you were when you posted this except in reverse. I was going to become an airline pilot in 2011 untill I read too many horror stories about the state of the industry. So I went and got my Masters Degree in Information Systems with an emphasis in software development. Currently, I am working for the state of Hawaii as an Applications Developer and I still cannot get flying out of my head. Especially when I can see the planes pass by the window after taking off from HNL.... I know I have kerosine in my veins. This is not a "what should I do?" post. I just want to know what it was about flying that made you go this other route. I am just interested to find out what the life style is like from someone who doesn't sound vitriolic and bitter. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.
