When did you know its time to leave?
#31

Funny, over 10 years into the career and a few years into my current regional airline I still like the job itself, but being on the road, commuting and my current situation involving an investigation into a mishandled equipment malfunction that doesn’t threaten my job but will probably end up in my PRIA record has me thinking of a career change.
I want to leave this country anyway, far-right nationalists and an insane, narcissistic clown as president are making a society that already had few redeeming qualities far-worse. Not sure where I’d go, maybe get an electrical engineering degree and start designing solar systems for a developing country? Not only is renewable energy what must pragmatically done to save the planet, it has virtually unlimited growth potential. Strong inclination to go from a job that involved dumping tons of CO2 into the atmosphere to one that helps solve our global problems. If I want to scratch the aviation itch I can always fly an ultralight or sailplane on my days off.

Then leave.... And please take Alec Baldwin, Meryl Streep, and all the other snowflakes with you..... I hear Europe is quite the Utopia

Your country’s democracy is broken. And it all happened on Trumps watch. Or should I say the party of Lincoln and Reagan’s watch.
Sad.

Well, 18 months has gone by since this post, care to re-evaluate your country’s commander and chief without resorting to childish name calling?

It doesn't get better. If you feel the way you do and you stick to this career, you will be miserable, forever. I am also bored of this job and I am at United, late 20's here. I am thinking of going back to a top tier MBA program and going to Wall Street afterwards. I feel my degree from MIT is going to waste being a pilot. Other than my education going to waste, I am simply bored with this job.
