I've been wrestling with this one for awhile. I've got a great career and make decent money. I fly commercial and private on the side when I can.
Bottom Line
=================
I've decided that having money and being able to fly is better than not having and being able to fly.
It's true that I have to give up some jobs that I'd love to do and would be a great experience. But at the same time, I'm not as worried that I'm going to be old and poor.
My 2 cents.
