Looking for life advice- What would you do? Hopefully some of those answers help you find a path to move forward, too.
Are you working as an A&P now? I’d only “just” be a mechanic if it’s something you truly enjoy, and really want to do it for a living. I will tell you from my experience that working as an A&P is not very satisfying if flying is your ultimate goal. If you’re working, and can afford it, get those ratings finished, and at the very least you can fly on the side and build time that way. Aircraft ownership becomes fairly inexpensive when you have an A&P, that’s basically what I did, and now have over 1500 hours. Just a few things to think about.
I visited that thread and alot of good info there as well thanks. I do work as an A&P it is not a bad way to make a living, but I definitely agree that it is not as satisfying when you really want to fly. I am going to keep pushing along possibly get a little C150 and build some time until I can find a decent flying job and work and study my hardest and ensuring I go nowhere near another failure.
