So, the world outside of flying is all sweetness and light eh Brownbaron? Well it's been 4-5 years since I was last using my business degree to do the whole 9-5 thing. Back then it wasn't that great; in fact sitting in an office was pretty crap to be honest. At least flying is often (not always) fun and exciting. Can't say that about the office job.
Don't let him put you off. Now is a good time to be planning and saving for your flight training and give it a year and it might even be a sensible time to train.
