I'm gonna jump into the boat with WilliamOK.
I'm just starting my flight training and have been an avid reader of PPRUNE for some time now and what i see here sometimes scares me in a way as in what could i expect when i finally have all my licences, apart from the obvious debt!!
But i have to say personally that when i get into a cockpit and am put in control of the a/c theres no other feeling that i have experienced or can possibly think of that quite comes close!! If i don't just go for it now and instead take the safe routes i know i'll regret it forever and that could quite possibly be worse!! I have other qualities to fall back on should the industry flop completely or some such nonsense but that sorta worry won't stop me from giving it my all!!
And thanks WaW, lots of good information there and i'm glad you decided to share it.
