Choice:

To follow in my hero's footsteps and gain a CPL and see where I'd end up.

Sacrifice:

-1st wife (Was married at 19 and in hindsight, probably a good thing)
-Social life for 4-5 years while I saved enough to pay for it all.
-About 5 years behind all of my school friends re: Money in the bank or amount paid off mortgage.

Gains:

-It sure beats working for a living.
- Am not an office drone catching the same train to work 5 days a week until I retire and die shortly after.
- Pictures worth 1000's words soooooo...














Would I so it again, hell yes.

I hope 27 doesn't count as late twenties... where did my youth go...

I agree with the statement that it should best be done whilst you're single though. And Mike has the most valid point.
