[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 1800099, member: 13624"] I started down the professional pilot route myself, and I got out of it. Besides the low pay starting out (and if you think it'll only be five years or so, you're kidding yourself) and the stress of constant travel, strange schedules, etc. there's also the market uncertainty. Aviation is a terribly cyclical business in the best of times, and frankly, these are not the best of times. As ahamay6 said, flying gets in your blood; I understand that, and there's an airplane-shaped hole in my heart right now because I haven't been behind the stick in almost five years. Maybe this summer I'll get to do something about it, but--as for myself, at least--I sure wouldn't want to be banking on a career in aviation right now. The market is just too perilous in my view.
