What a theme all.... I also am 35 and finally left my full time job of 13 years to finally finish my CFI and do what I really love doing. My wife was wonderful through all of my flying years. Unfortunately we are getting divorced now (probably would have been able to make things better had I done this full time sooner (was a cop for 13 years)).. Anyway though we are getting the big D, I still love her very much and probably can never fully express my gratitude for all of her support. Actually, she was the one who gave me the final shove to follow what we all love.... aviation.

Don't ever feel like a loser (though believe me, I know exactly how you feel)... As long as you are happy and doing what you love, you will be happier, healthier and have a better family life for it.... While those that we used to work with will still be not real happy and probably have a heart attack wayyyy before their time...... Everyone of us deserves a pat on the back for us make the very tough descision to make the leap of faith....., But more importantly cherish those that supported us and never let them forget how important they are to us....... Good luck all.....
