Not me, man. I started off by going to college on an area not related to aviation at all. After a few years working in that area, I was done. I realized how priceless it is to wake up every morning motivated to do what you love most, and it wasnt what I was doing. When you do, you go to bed a happy man every night. Add up a good wife and off you go.

The money and all that... depends on you man, on what you wanna make of it, or what you wanna do with what you make... Im in no hurry to be a captain, Im in no hurry to fly a widebody, but Im determined to enjoy my quest towards it, whenever it happens!

I aint hanging my bars...

Just my 2 cents.
Cheers.
