I know a few pilots who have been to Africa and I want to experience it too. I've been wanting to go for several years but have never been in a financial position to go until now.
I agree it is a huge gamble to leave a stable, secure job. However, I'm young, single and craving a new adventure. I figure now is the time to explore rather than reaching middle age and wishing that I had.
Worst case scenario, I'll return home and get and instructing job or apply for the regional airlines.
