john_smith: This is actually a good question - one that deserves a more thoughtful response than ‘duh why did you do the training, etc etc, you make no sense’
Believe it or not, it does happen that one can train for a specific career/ profession, and decide that they no longer wish to proceed with it - be it temporarily, or permanently. It does not take a genius to understand why someone might consider moving on and giving up with aviation at this time. There are frankly many reasons – perhaps try reading your own post again, and thinking about it...

Sovi3tskiy: I hold a CPL, ME/IR and have completed the 14 written exams (fATPL, if you like), though now work in financial services in London. In my experience, having a professional pilots licence on my CV has aided me professionally in this sector. At the very least, it makes you a slightly more interesting person in the interview, and workplace.
