I make WAY more as a pilot than I ever would have dreamed of as a mechanical engineer. More time off too, and a better retirement. And I absolutely love my job.
Of course that’s not guaranteed, but I would’ve been very unhappy had I not at least tried. As long as one has the resources to do so, they should follow their passion if they can do so responsibly.
