Make sure your patience is well in shape, because it will be exercised to the fullest extent. Like any other job in aviation (or any other job in general) it will have its ups and downs. Your first reward will be when you send your first student from scratch into the air by themselves. You will be more nervous than the student. The best part for me was that the job was 5 minutes from the house, no pat down by TSA to get to work and best of all I made my own schedule. Best of luck to you!!!
