It really depends if you want to make a F/T LIVING from aviation.

Hereabouts, a lot of commercial pilots fly on floats for the outfitters, lodges and private lake-home owners during the Summer season and revert to other forms of employment for the Winter. It's a pretty good life all-in, at least in terms of 'quality of life', but your 'standard of living' could well be better pursuing a F/T career in another area... It's your call really.

If I had my time again, would I do it? YOU BET!

Good luck either way!
