My wife is chomping at the bit to return to flying after popping out this kid in July.
So this love of flying goes across all genders.
Can't wait to stay home, fly the 182 and take care of the kid while the wife realizes her dreams
How can most professions use the line
"Do it, and any career for that matter, for the love of it not the money"? It is hard to say that garbage men love their job. What motivation does a plumber or electrician have?
Some people would like to assume that most others merely did not try all that hard and got stuck with hauling other peoples garbage. However, I think that most people go to work because they need money and though they may not love that they do for a living they love what the job does for their life.
In my case I loved flying but did not like what it did to my life. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find a profession that provides satisfaction, respect, lifestyle and income all in one package.
