You're on to me!
Seriously I decided that I wanted to fly professionally because I have been in love with aviation ever since I can remember. The allure of the four stripes on my sleeve and the title Captain was an added bonus when I decided I wanted to fly professionally, but the more I thought about it, I am more than willing to do any type of flying. Now I am even considering transferring to an engineering degree and becoming a test pilot. But I'll probably stick to transport flying. I have flying goals that some might consider "far out" and "unachievable," so I usually don't mention them in pilot forums for fear of being laughed out.
