Think carefully about what you're saying.
If you really love aviation as much as you say then tomorrow is a waste unless it is spent in a plane. You have no excuses. Anything less than total commitment would be a disservice to your lifelong passion and ardent position of total aviation love.
Not if I spend tomorrow in a plane in pursuit of becoming burnt out and bitter, unable to survive. I'm in this for the long haul, and for my kind of flying.
The rest of us here have already done that. Now it is your turn.

Professional aviation is very different from touch and goes in a 172.
idem.
Oh yea and I too have flown Beavers in the bush for many years. The fun wears off there too.
You do realize that almost every single profession on the planet has people that say the same thing about it, right? ... and that there's always some contingent of people who truly enjoy what they do, even if they do it all their life. There are also people who will never be happy, regardless of what they're doing or how much they make.
Perhaps flying isn't for you?
