I agree with some of the above posts. Fly as a hobby Try gliding - real flying, not managing computers - and Australia has great giding conditions and huge amounts of space. Maybe get a job as a part-time ramp agent/dispatcher (weekends?) and get to play with aeroplanes on turn-rounds and stroll around the ramp - although it was more fun when every aeroplane wasn't a 737/320. I got all that aeroplane stuff out of my system with three years despatching in a working museum called Belfast 1980s. Viscount, Vanguard, Herald, F27, F28, DC-9, 737, 747, DC-10, Whistling Wheelbarrow, Bandeirante, Caravelle, CL-44, Belfast (Heavylift) DC-3, 707, 727, HS-748, Heron and even a Bristol Freighter.
But watching stuff coming in on a really bad night, high winds rain, snow etc. I was happier on the ground.
