You are in a unique position. You have a passion for two totally separate careers. As with any decision there are pro's and con's. Most of which have already been touched on by other posters, but keep this in mind; if you think you might look out of your dentistry practice window every day to see what airplane is flying over head and do so with a sense of regret, become a pilot.
You hit the nail on the head. That is my biggest fear.
This is really bothering me... I really can't make up my mind. You would think it would be easy with the two having huge lifestyle differences, but it isn't.
I'm wondering as well if I'm getting a lot of replies from unhappy pilots instead of happy ones. I'd like to know what some of the happy pilots think.
I'm also not sure a Cessna is going to give me the level of satisfaction that I'd get by being an airline pilot. I seem to swoon at the sight of a widebody, or even a narrowbody.
