Aviation is difficult and opportunities can be fleeting and few. Unless you are able to throw your entire life's belongings into your car and hit the road at a moments notice it makes things more difficult. Wives and children require, money, safety, friends and family. Anyone can put forth the efforts to throw a hail Mary in hopes that you can find a good job locally but the odds of success are slim. Most likely you will be left with a huge bill and no saleable job skills. Just ask BMWMarv or Ninja. Or myself. I already have the ratings and experience but can't pursue the career anymore due to a growing family. We all have to make choices.
