Ahh guys thanks for the replies HillerBee & Jetflite that is exatly what I figured. If I dont do this Im going to regret it I know it. And Mr Selfish I love reading posts like yours from people who came from one job and the finally decided they were going to do it and become a pilot then went out and did it, even though you could have earned more in their old job. They are so inspiring. JollyGreen awesome story, can I ask do you still paraglide today? Whats better, paragliding of flying a helocopter?

The thing is I only care about the money up to a point (yes it sounds cool to be 60 and to look back and life and say hell yeah I did it, but I still reckon you would regret not having any retirement funds :P) , but looked at what some of you guys earn you earn craploads! A least to me it seems like loads anyway. At end end of the day I would rather do a job that I enjoy and not earn so much than do something that I hate/bores me and earn lots. Whats the point in having money when you dont even enjoy your job? I dont see it.

As it stands now I just finished my degree and I got some debts but I am willing to sell everything I own to go for this. I can be indecisive, but then when I do decide on something I really go for it. I have had a fixed wing lesson years ago and loved it but I will have a helicopter lesson soon I hope to, although I am sure I will love it I gotta admit I find it hard making a decission on something I have never done. I am pretty glad I did my degree actually because it means I got something to fall back on.
