I was in the accounting industry for about 1.5 years. I felt like Peter Gibbons from Office Space. One day I said...im not getting any younger and If I dont start flying I will regret it one day when Im old. So I quit my job and started flying full time in november 2006. I got my CFI in september 2008. I have about 650 hours right now with CFII and MEI. I love instructing and am so happy to be out of accounting. If you would like to hear more about my experiences let me know. I can give you an idea about costs, schedules, schools stuff like that.
