SKyhigh,
I think you are missing my point. I will not argue with you about some with a better return. For me, this is the better return.
I tried a few business ideas and can wait the hell out of some tables, but for me it was a dead end. I never finished that 4-year, work got in the way and quite frankly...im not that smart. I lost interest quickly. Aviation gave me the motivation to study and I loved it. Now im trying to finish college slowly at my pace.
Everyone is different. This is the path that has worked for me. You cannot make a blanket statement that "this industry sucks, look eleswhere". Im sorry it sucks for you. You seem much more capable than myself to make another career move.
I'll Always remember....
Doug Flutie was too short.
