Re-Post: Stages of Pilot Career

Rest?
I have been faithfully doing this for six years already. Aviation is an endless well to write about.
The opposite of love is not hate but indifference. The most passionate marriages can end in an equally impassioned divorce. I am still very passionate about this subject.

Or the "retired" could be on the third wife, flying for a non-sked out of MIA, and die of a heart attack at 3 AM from the alarm set by some FedEx pilot, happy at last.
You can be passionate about aviation without flying for corporate or airlines. You can be happy flying for either. You can realize life is a crapshoot, no matter what career you chose, thus best to find happiness where you are.

Jeez Sky. Give it a rest man. Name ONE industry right now that will offer a "good rate of return." Don't say Attorney. My wife is one and she's teaching idiots online who have no work ethic instead. Doctor? Ha Ha. Obamacare is going to put the brakes on that career. Engineer (every pilot's dream default career)? Nope. The Engineers I know want to do what i'm doing (flying airplanes). Pharmacist? I'll give you that one. That's a good one. Anymore?

It is better to be happy and alive as opposed to miserable in a cubicle 9-5 with 2 or 3 hours a day spent commuting. I prefer my 15-18 days off a month making a 6 figure salary.
It wasn't easy to get here, but it is well worthwhile.
