Wow, wish that could be me...
I worked graveyards at 7-11 to help put me through college and did a tour of duty at Lowes while in flight school.
So, even though I've been "paying the dues" for a while now, I have no hindsight regarding change in my career path. I just hope we can all unite as a GROUP and get better pay for what we do. Going to GLA is like slu*ting yourself out for a piece of bazooka gum (the flavor lasts for about a minute then its gone).
