I am 21 at a regional wanting to upgrade the captain or make the jump as quickly as I can. Sadly I rushed through my ratings and got my hours and experience instructing and decided I couldn't handle Instructing 6 days a week as well as keep up with my degree. I am in a pickle now as while yes I got in young I don't have the intangibles to stick out to any of the majors. If I could go back and do it again I probably would've gotten the degree and been okay with not getting to the regionals a couple years later.
