Hmm, now this has been an interesting read, making me think things over again!
Me to date:
Motor Gliding solo at 17
PPL at 18
Aero. Engineering degree at 21
MSc Air Transport Management at 23
Now a Marketing/Sales Manager with large airline-related company at 24.
...but still want to be a commercial pilot =)
Maybe I'll finally make the big decision next year.
Good to hear others have took the jump and done well and nice to see mid-twenties is far from being too old to start
