Question Route to happiness?

Hi,

Some advice please.

Doing some long range planning, and looking 9 years down the road, I will have paid off my mortgage, and seen the kids through college!

After that, I want to quit my particular rat race, and do something for love, not money.

Lecturing is my first choice - good holidays, enough money to live on. But... here is the rub, probably not enough money to keep flying.

So I thought that the ideal solution is to lecture, and do some flying instructing on the side. Not for money (I've read enough of the poverty you guys live in on this thread . Purely for fun.

How realistic is this dream? Do people do this sort of thing?
Will I find work if only doing it part-time?
Would I be viewed as a pariah by the full time FIs?

Any thoughts would be welcome.
