"Unless you want to fly rubber dog poo out of Hong Kong?"
I thought you only get to do that if you do an un-authorised fly-past in an F-14!!! - gosh I love that film!
I still think the career isn't "too" important. but up to a serious point- of course, if you are a Mcdonalds person in your 30's or a binman, then it really shows a lack of ambition. And I don't quite agree with your incredulity of person in their 30's wanting a career change - kind of ageist.
I get quite sexist comments now at work when I tell a few of the guys my plan to be a pilot and at first its funny, but when you hear it every single day, if can get annoying.
Anyway- enough of my rant. I'm moving off the point.
