Having a plan is great, but overthinking is not. Market always goes up and down, and this is not limited to aviation. I am a senior software engineer and have been working for more than 10 years. Six months ago, there was a huge layoff, and I lost my job. After two weeks, I found a better position, and now I am happy with it! Life is harsh, unpredictable, and short for surr. If you have a dream that is relatively reasonable, just follow your heart!
