Nichibel,
Well done for clearing that up.
All good facts and finally the point you are trying to make is getting across. For Wannabee's, the best advice I think is to not get to wrapped up in the dream and to review everything, research everything and ask as many people in the know as is humanly possibly. Then if you're still really passionate about it Go For It!
Its a great career, I love going to work and still after a few years as a jet pilot, I still have to pinch myself. The bottom line is....
Follow your dream but be realistic Good Luck
