There are too many reasons to list here against getting into aviation. In a nutshell:

The pay stinks and managements are usually one or two steps ahead of labor to keep it that way.

Unless you move into base (which you shouldn't really do), quality of life takes a nosedive because commuting stinks (a separate discussion altogether). Quadruple the stink factor if you are on reserve. And quadruple THAT when/if you have a family.

Good or great corporate jobs are few and far between.

I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer, just trying to be factual. Dedicate yourself to real estate and ultimately buy your own airplane to fly while you take a break from the masterpieces you create for yourself.
