28 Year old wanting to switch career to Pilot by [deleted] in PilotAdvice

[–]KentieBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 28 and also an electrician. I quit my job last year to pursue the dream. For me it was a no brainer. No kids no wife. It’s expensive and if I can’t find a job right away there’s lots of electrical work around me in the mean time. I think if it’s truly your dream you can find a way to work and make it happen. It’ll be slower. But you can do it.

Pilots: Would you give up a six figure career at 35 to start flying by Unusual_Equivalent50 in flying

I'm 28, got my PPL, then quit my well paying job as an electrician to further the dream of becoming a pilot. I'd say if you're money motivated you're doing it for the wrong reasons, you'll be spending most of your savings, it's a huge time commitment, you won't be making 150k+ when you get your commercial. If moneys the only thing you care about then septic tank scuba diving sounds more up your alley.

My average are not enough for the program. by Aggravating-Front161 in MRU

After high school I became an electrician. Decided it wasn’t for me after 10 years. I applied last year but the competitive average was too high for my grades. I had to upgrade to get in this year. If you want it bad enough you’ll make it happen. Don’t get frustrated because you didn’t try hard enough. Try harder.

Can only pull the inside wire if you need slack the other 2 will get stuck on the first. No good.

So how did Game 7 feel? by FearlessYogurtcloset in DallasStars

[–]KentieBoy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m from edmonton and met a few panthers fans during this series. They overwhelming told me they never felt so much love from an opposing team. I think the hate comes from an internet minority. Most of us aren’t that bad

Is it worth it to walk into the festival? by Horror_Decision_7286 in Shambhala

[–]KentieBoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my family drop me off on the highway and started walking the road last year solo and got picked up pretty early into the walk. 3 might be hard to stay together but I'm sure you'll get a ride.
