And remember, if you end up doing the job you love, then you'll never work another day in your life!
Pity, there's no LIKE button on here, but I superlike that quote by Krusty.
I've been through two career changes myself before I became a professional pilot and traveled a similar journey to that of Krusty's with going back and forth flying gigs when companies went bust. But it has been well worth the journey, to be flying for a living. It's the only job I've had where I can't wait to get to work.
