all this talk about going into IT if you had it to do all over again. That was my livelihood for several years and now I've moved on (at the same company). It's killing me slowly. Enough that I've almost convinced myself that I want to fly for a living. I finished my PPL add-on a few months ago and am about to take the CPL written and just ordered my IR textbooks. I haven't committed to anything, but am having a helluva time preparing for a possible career change. And most of GomerPylot's postings indicate that he enjoys getting up in the morning.
For what it's worth, regardless of how much more your paycheck could have been...if you've enjoyed going to work most days, you made the right choice.
