At least if you don't have loans to repay, you can make due somewhat on the income you will be receiving until you land the job you need. Nothing can replace that feeling of being financially sound.

Thanks for the feedback eman. Realistically evaluating at my career outlook, it's likely that I won't ever reach that level with a reasonable period of time to pay off the investment of aviation training. Many in the "lucrative" salaried positions with my company make roughly 10% more than what they did as an hourly.
Does your recommendation still stand in this case? Specifically if my wife is encouraging this transition?
