Flying can be good if you are a senior captain at a good airline.
To start from scratch at age 33 can be more work and long hours on reserve in a crash pad than you can shake a stick at.
If you were a cab driver with nothing to loose, I’d say go for it.
My buddy is a successful dentist and got the bug to be an airline pilot as well. I talked him out of it, so did several other people.
Get you ratings, ppl, commercial and instrument, then buy a C-185 and have fun on your days off. Really.
