Dont do it....
SASless' advice is bang on the money.
Why work for somebody else and be at their beckon call 24/7?
I started off as a cop and left after 14 years to pursue a career in industry.
Everybody thought I was crazy.
Jeez it was tough but I sold up and retired at 52 and can fly when I like. I can also look out of the window and say..nah..I dont fancy it today.
Lucky?
You make your own luck in this life. I have had plenty of very bad luck along the way.
Life is for living, one shot at it/ no rehearsal - so easy to get to 65 with a nice pot and be too old/ miserable to enjoy it.
Take SASless' advice, get a decent non-aviation job but with an eye always to self-employment.
