What is good money to me? Well I don't mind telling you all that I dont make alot of money where I am at. I am currently in the mid 20's range with not much hope of moving that number out of the 20's in the next 10 years. I am a technical support representative and I also build trade show displays for my company. From what I am seeing in the airline industry is that I can make it out of the 20's in the next 10 years, and I get to fly.
Don't get me wrong, I don't need alot of money. I like my old wagoneer (its paid off), I like my small house(low maintenance costs, cozy), I like my life simple and with out a lot of clutter. I just want to ebjoy my job, and make enough money to live on.
I know the wow factor goes down hill after time, it does with every thing. Using the car analogy, I have been driving for 20 years. most of my driving is repetative, but I still find myself enjoying it. It is all a matter of how you look at things in life.
This is axactly why I come here every time I can, a variety of people that are willing to share their outlooks on this life as a pilot or as a pilot to be or even as someone who just wants to be a pilot but maybe wont ever.
Thank you all for your replies.
