new career

I have to confess that I've been actively looking for a career change having completed 20 years of airline flying (28 years flying in total) and it's extremely difficult to find another career which will have the same "addictive" effect as flying has on me.
I can't bear the thought of being employed by someone..self employment is the only option I wish to consider..but being a "boy's toys" enthusiast (aeroplanes, gliders, parachutes etc)
the only things I want to do don't make money...and the things that make money would be unbearably depressing after a 20 year airline career.
So if you give up something to become an airline pilot...expect to become permanently hooked!!!
