I only started this career as a means to pay for flying. I do understand that there are small petty people in aviation as well, but I believe not as much.
I used to work in IT as a computer course/web/graphics designer in college... I hated it... Cube life wasn't for me. Got my current job and never looked back. If flying is your passion, go for it and you wont regret it. The good news is you can probably pick up some IT work on the side. I do web maintenance on the side for extra cash and it is working out great!
