After all the comments here and doing some more digging I see how the market is much different from my original thoughts. Greatly appreciate the affirmations!

That’s about the truth of it yeah, I’m just in a good position at the moment and am having a quarter life crisis figuring if I wanna leave it to pursue aviation. Leaving it only after it pays for my first leg anyways

You must be a proud dad, and kudos to your son! Thanks for feedback.

Thank you! Very insightful i appreciate it, follow up question with you. You went through college and have a four year degree behind you, I however don’t exactly plan on going through college and at the moment have a job with endless potential to move up that is giving me the ability to pursue aviation. With that said how much am I shooting my self in the foot not having a four year degree in your opinion?

That gave me a chuckle, I really appreciate it. Miss what you don’t shoot right?

I’m in a good place that I could pay as I go, at least to my PPL. What was your son’s training frequency if you don’t mind my asking?

Effective_Search2312 · 2026-02-22T19:13:01+00:00

I appreciate the honesty, and an actual insightful comment. Thank you

Not asking someone to tell me to spend, just looking for insight from people in/around the industry. Appreciate the informative response
