Thank you everybody.
My mom hated the idea of me flying when I first pitched the idea. I said with the license I can go whichever way I want, I'm not necessarily stuck with the airline industry. There are coporates, fedex/ups, hell I can even apply for one of those that fly celebs, don't remember the name but saw it on E!

or I can just be an instructor for life. Not sure how good of an idea that is.
Is it my wishful thinking? Say if a pilot gets furloughed, how difficult is it to get a different gig?
