I hope that you read your aircraft manual and flightplan a tad more carefully than my post towerdog. I have quite enough flying hours, about half of them paid, to know that flying well is considerably easier than engineering well. Arguably there are low-level jobs in engineering that need rather less skill than low level jobs in flying, but I've not done one of those since I was 19, and suspect this is true of most of the other engineers on this forum.
This may sound glib, but I would rather enjoy the technical challenge of getting new aircraft designs right than of flying a 300 seat London bus across the atlantic twice a week. Frankly I'd rather enjoy the salary that goes with bus driving, and so would Mrs Genghis, but I've not given her the choice and have seen how much my bus driving friends enjoy all those nights in the back of beyond away from their families.
Now get back in your box and read your operators manual, written by an Engineer, to tell you how to operate your aeroplane, designed by an engineer, safely, because it was maintained by an engineer (or technician, but I'll keep that particular argument to another forum, where we enjoy it from time to time).
Remember the real enemy - accountants.
