True, I'd give up my day job and become a full-tine pilot
. However, yours and my stories are examples that it makes sense to start on a career which you love rather than fall into.
In my profession, I've trained students who were obviosly in it for the money and it's demoralising for me to train someone who shows no real keenness for the job; I try not to recruit those anymore.
You could always change career
and do something you've always wanted to do since you were a child.
