Or you could be like me. One who has no other choice but a "Professional Flight Degree" because family can't help pay for college, flight training, or living expenses. While doing all mentioned at once, that degree is the only choice that allows for additional Federal loan aid to pay for flight training while supporting myself working 35 hrs a week. It was dam hard to get here without help. With a newly started family; the pay I expected but the stress of job security with NO other options (because of the degree) is what’s killing me. Overall, I LOVE MY JOB but from the pit of my heart I hate the career. Bitter-sweet!!!
