Hi downownboy,
You like to travel a lot, you like to live in far away places, not too long at one place? - Then helicopter pilot could be an option for you.
But this is now. How old are you? I know a lot of people who liked to travel and liked far away tropical places. But as they got older and got a family, they changed and loved to be at home.
I have an military background maybe there are the times away from home more extreme then in the civilian world.
Now I have a flying job at home, but the earning is not the best in the world.
Helicopter flying is great, but you get used to it, like driving your car to the supermarket.
You have to know what you want to do, and what you want to do in 10, 15 years...
But if you donīt try it you will never know...
