Being a jet pilot, you must have mirrored sunglasses......but to be a rotary pilot - you must have the mirrors on the inside! If you're going to cross that Dixie line, you would do well to wave goodbye to your past lifestyle (that's presuming that you have not got huge savings and able to hold down a part-time fixed-wing job aswell).
Rotary flying is extremely rewarding, unfortunately, the employers know this and pay peanuts (relatively).
Oh!, and last bit of advice...don't make any cheques out to "PPSC"
