This is great until you get married and have a couple of kids running around. I think the reality of the matter begins to replace desires and dreams of flying for an airline. It is definitely a difficult decision because we are told our whole lives that we can do whatever our heart desires. No one ever tells you that is true until you become the provider, then you do whatever it takes to provide...which might not necessarily be what you have always dreamed of doing...ie painter, poet, whatever.

Then maybe the trick is to avoid marriage.

You can, but an employer will only pay you for what his heart desires.

My mother told me this when I was about 13.
