"You have not answered our questions so I must assume"

That's your problem, Sky, you are always assuming and then proceed to make up facts to support your arguments. Like the guy is depressed...

"Before you blow a fortune on a dead end perhaps you should consider taking up a drinking habit or buying an XBox?"

Neither of those include even a part time CFI paycheck and will in fact, take up a lot of time and money. The 14 year old I know is proof of that (the Xbox part, not the drinking).

Did you notice Vulcan said this: "When the housing market picks back up maybe I can instruct part time if I pursue it that far."

Sky. You're so foaming at the mouth to turn people away from aviation that you don't even read their posts...

I mean, you yourself do part time CFI stuff and yet your telling this guy not to even bother with that? That it's a dead end?

In any case, Vulcan, a "dead end" is in the eye of the beholder. What Skyhigh and others consider a dead end might be a decent and worthy job to the next guy. To each his own...
