There were multiple times during my training that I got frustrated for one reason or another. I thought training was going too slow, I failed a checkride, I wanted a better job, etc.

When I kept plugging away, eventually I got everything I wanted. The funny part is, looking back on it, those times don't seem too bad in the whole scheme of things.

Look at it this way: five years from now you'll look back at an extra six months of a job you hated and probably laugh about how much it sucked. It won't be that big of a deal. But if you take out a bunch of loans, five years from now, when you're trying to pay off big loans at a low paying aviation job, you might kick yourself for not sticking with engineering a few months longer.

Keep things in perspective. Think about the big picture.
