You have a point. It’s not work, but it’s entertaining.

I started out simply because at the time I thought that flying was fun, and to be honest, I didn’t know what else I would enjoy. Outside of our current situation, I still think that I have a great job. It pays well, I have a flexible schedule, far more vacation than most people, and a I get lots of days off. Another huge perk is that I never take work home with me. That is why I like my job, but after 20,000 hours, it is just an ends to a means now. If I had the winning lottery ticket, I’d never fly again.

But that skill set just doesn't come from a few correspondent courses. Most pilots I've seen who have been hoo hum about the career field were military trained, The rest of us who scraped and clawed since we were 16 have a indescribable passion that never goes away. Not slashing Military pilots ....... just the nature of the paths we take.

Well, for me, when i was in my jr. year of college i had no direction for after graduation, so i started researching jobs that paid a decent amount of money without having to work 80 hours/wk. Pilot is what i came up with.

I haven’t flown anything GA in decades, and I really don’t have that much interest. A cabin on a nice lake and a boat is another story. The twist and turns of this industry and what people think about it is interesting to me, but not necessarily actually flying a plane.

Agreed. The job does nothing for me and I really don't even enjoy flying the airplane at all. Takeoff, cruise, and land. It gets pretty boring to be honest. The last thing I want on my day off is more aviation. I make good use of that time relaxing or trying to improve myself.
