It will be challenging. I see it as a means to an end. Technical recruiting is the perfect P/T job that I could manage from my laptop and hotel room. With a 20 or 25% placement fee and a 40% cut from the house, I could easily see myself placing one engineer a month on a totally P/T basis. At 125K engineer salary, a 20% fee would be 25K and my cut would be 10K. Even one every 2 months would work ok..

Doing contract technical recruiting or even compensation consulting would both work perfectly as a flexible, work on the road, job that will fill the bill. I am sick of the work, but I am good at it and can bang out product from a hotel room while listening to Foxnews..

Bad day in the cockpit can be a reallllly baadddd day...You kidding me?
Referring to boring aspect of a bad day...Not the technical aspect of a malfunction or error or worse....
The picture of a CRJ cockpit on my laptop is telling me that this is the "office" of my dreams...and I will gladly accept all of the ups and downs that it will entail. I relish the opportunity to become a professional pilot. Chasing the $ has given me nothing but short term satisfaction. I am recently divorced and have given up the big house, S class MBZ the Viper and now want to do what I love for the rest of my career.

It is exactly this attitude that is keeping us from earning a good living. Your attitude will change and you will realize you can have both, hopefully some day we all will.

Some of us would like to make a good living doing what we love.
I got into the industry for both thank you, I'd like to improve the $$$ part. Please don't keep bringing this industry down with that attitude.
