Don't be one of those ruers that will wake up 20 some years from now with any regrets and thoughs of "I should of", "I could of".
If finances are not an issue, and your family are behind you, then you need to follow your dream.
I've met quite few lads and yes lasses to that have changed their careers in their late 30s and have successful positions at various carriers rounud the world with admirations from their younger peers too!
Good luck with your new path in life, or should I say new airway in life.
