Thanks iflyjets,
I had a conversation with a guy yesterday who owns his own carpet cleaning van and makes 150K per year. Sure he is very tired by the end of the day, but he is building a business that is making him rich. He told me that he is almost to the point where he can hire workers to do the actual cleaning. Though he was never a pilot this kind of business might be an excellent avenue for those looking for a career change.
