Take the money. You can buy an airplane later and enjoy it.

Do what you will enjoy. If i had the option to take a job making 150K in a job i wouldn't enjoy or stay flying making less i would stick with flying. If you dont like your job, life can be miserable. Good luck

$31K a year or $100K a year? Not many folks have the opportunity for a 320% pay raise. Next year you might make captain and a whopping $60K. Take the medical position, live like an airline FO, use the $69K extra you make the first year alone and buy an older V tail Bonanza or Bellanca Super Viking if you want to travel. If you want pure fun, try to find an older Pitts or an RV-6 or RV-4. You may have to save 6 more months for the Pitts. It's what I would do. Money=Freedom. Show me the money cause I love to be free.
