I enjoyed your posts Factor.. I'm in a similar position, basically through being a bit of a tool and partying too hard in my early 20's it's taken me ages to get my hours done.. Now I find myself without a degree, working a job I hate to get my MEIR.
I don't have too many regrets though, I feel that once employed and having tasted a job that I absolutely loathe every day to get to where I am I'll value that first flying contract a lot more..
Langeveldt, I totally relate to the way you feel.
I'm getting closer to the moment in which I'll take the plunge and quit my current job. I'll start CFI and CFII training sometime in January, so most likely as soon as I get those ratings and after securing my instructor job I'll just bid my current job farewell.
I currently feel like a bird in a cage, but that will come to an end soon.
