Any thing you do often can get a bit "samey". Although, it's hard to view a visual approach into Samedan LSZS as "samey" or a 20 kt xw into EGLC as "routine".

Repetition of any task is potentially soul destroying. So I do feel for folks who graduate from school, go straight into flight training and then go straight onto a medium size jet. What have they got to look forward to? Long haul?

This is my second career. I started life as a university laboratory technician. I am currently doing a psychology degree at the OU (UK - not Texas) to keep myself amused. I've been on my current type for 7 years.

If you really really really want to become a pilot, fantastic, go for it but understand the pitfalls. My advice is to not rush straight into it, do something else for perspective, maturity and money! There's no real rush at the moment.
