Well I have recently got my wings and am in the conundrum of whether to take my private licence to the next level. Many women I have come to know tend to be more responsible and realistically minded than men their age. So when they are young enough to throw caution to the wind they usually don't have the money to throw with the caution.
aka, you are young and think it would be cool to fly but can't afford it.
Then when you have built up reserves and the option of flying becomes a possibility biology kicks in, as part of some maternal emotion that comes with your mid twenties. The idea of family and kids and being a good mother start to rise in your mind.
Do I really want to invest the money in a career that will take me away from my beloved husband and my children for days at a time? Could I have passion for flying while taking money from education policies to pay for it?
Is it worth investing so much in a career I might want to give up when I have kids?
I think these are some of the thoughts that keep women out of flying and other selfish careers. Men like their fathers think that a home and family run without them and so have no problem leaving for days.
