Have a master of science in materials and engineering and worked several years in the electrical industry. Was a great job, liked it very much. However, with 33 decided to become an airline pilot. Now, 36, after 230 hrs flight time and CPL/IR/Multi/frozen ATPL will start June 5th with CROSSAIR. All my training performed paralell to a 100%job. Was tough but fully paid off. I would do it again. My technical background helped me in the technical areas. At this age you can also benefit from some life experience and good common sense which is also useful in a modern cockpit. Can't wait to start my childhooddream !!!! Just go for it ! Life your dream !
Cheers
