Charlie S Charlie says it as it is, I'm afraid, backed up by watchoutbelow.
Everybody else seems to have latched onto the "go for it" mentality.
I didn't say DON'T go for it - would never say that. BUT don't drag your bloody family around so they can be there when you get home every night to tell them how much of a s**t day you had
Wesp go out there, do your stuff, get your hours, get your networking going, find some kind of a reasonable part time hour building base, THEN, 4+ years later...move the family.
Bet you don't fancy it so much now eh?
Count your blessings and your money, buy yourself weekly flying hours where you can go back to work and get the best of both worlds.
Who, in their right mind would hire an ex-IT director to go puddle jumping some punters on sightseeing tours all day
You've been watching too many flying films
You can buy me a beer when the dust settles
