Hi everyone I have been a long time member here but not a very frequent poster. I have a bit of a dilema here and looking for advice or mabye just a rant. I am 28yrs hold a ASEL/AMEL Commerical license with an Instrument rating. I love flying or least remember loving it, it's been a while since I last flew...

Last time I flew was in april of '06 my commercial single checkride (i did the multi first), the reason I haven't flown is not because I have lost any affection for it, it's purely monetary. It just costs to much for me :/. So here I am out of flying for about 5months, back in FL to complete my training (CFI) but can't help but wonder why? I am living off a loan to do this and it just seems to be getting to me. I have lost my motivation, maybe becasue of the stress of loans, or the discouragment of having to move 20hours (drive) away from home to do what I want. It just seems like it would be easier to quit. I don't want to quit, what I would like, is too just be done already.... So I dunno if anyone here has encouraging words, or similar story, or maybe just thoughts I would love to have them, but this life is starting to get to me, living with no money and away from the ones I love. Did I make a mistake???

On another note does anyone know a good search website for available jobs in aviation whether it's charter work or CFI work that would be helpful for the future for me thank you.
