I left for similar reasons, as well as I was disheartened by my failed rides. I loved instructing, I loved flying. I’m turning 25 in a few weeks and think I made a huge mistake leaving aviation as my career. I’m currently making a great living, but it doesn’t matter if you aren’t enjoying what you are doing
