Becoming a pilot has always been a dream for me but I actually gave it up and concentrated on my real job (accounting) which is as exciting as cat sh#t but it does pay me $125k+ a year (+ bonus). I guess it comes down to enjoyment which for me is about -50%.
Its my mrs that actually said (after the airshow we just had in Bris) "honey, this has always been your dream and I support you, why dont you just go for it".
thats the best support anyone can get eh?

a bit of financial support would certainly help tho
