Go for it
Many people move into aviation after years of doing other things and they never look back. Those who do it the other way around, leave aviation and look for something else often lament their choice.
I've been involved in it in various forms since 17yrs old and yes there are ups n downs but as one ppruner has said, no 2days are ever the same.
You will never find someone who has trodden the path and gotten away unscathed from either job loss, cut backs, takeovers, slowdowns and the like..But there are ups, n peaks, n highs n takeovers again and hopefully the good memories outweigh the bad..
And like the saying goes, without the bitter, the sweet aint so sweet..
