There has been a lot of slamming girlfriends in this post and I have to disagree with alot of it. If your girlfriend is trying to get you out of aviation constantly maybe there is a problem, but there is nothing wrong with leaving aviation because of the tolls on your significant other. I am over halfway through my training but if I think its going to work between myself and the girl I love, than I will be switching to ATC or aviation management. This is not because I am at all afraid of hardships, but because I would want to be there for her more than most jobs as a pilot would allow. Would she ever ask me to quit aviation? No. Is it my goal to be a professional pilot? Yes. But not at the expense of someone elses hardship. Like I have told her I would be happier working in ATC or management coming home everynight, Than I would be single and a professional pilot.
But thats just me and my goals, I am not gonna slam someone who feels different because people have different goals.
