But this only addresses the income concerns, what other concerns should I be aware of that could trash my family?
Look at the post history of that person. To say they are extremely negative is an understatement. I used to work as an engineer and made a career change to aviation when I was 27. My timing was terrible, as I had to deal with the age 65 rule change, Great Recession, etc. But it’s still be fun and now I’m around 40, working for the best airline in the world flying a 767. I get lots of time off, travel the world, and make a fantastic income.
