I thoroughly agree with 'SOME' previous posters.....

'If ya heart ain't in it, then don't even think about it!"

At my time of learning at the 'Royal Aero Club of NSW', there were a couple of instructors I had the mis-pleasure (IN HINDSIGHT!!!) of flying with - who could NOT take their eyes off the departing / arriving RPT acft ex /into SY, and who gave me NO Value whatsoever as THEIR student....

HOWEVER - IF you HONESTLY reckon that you would give your students your FULL and undivided 100% 'Care and Attention'....then why not consider it??

Who knows, you could be among the 'last of the 'real instructors' who 'care'......

BUT - IF you stay in that mode too long, then you will never be 'well off' in terms of pay etc.

However (again) it can be a most rewarding career in terms of job satisfaction IF you can land a GOOD job at a GOOD school, where some Charter / MECIR / variations are available to you....

There's nothing like 'old age' to give one the 'proper perspective' on life.....

Cheers and Good Luck!!
