Default Re: Dreaming Scientist

You're right. I can make a lot more money in engineering, and I shouldn't be too shortsighted. I'd be stupid to not finish my ME and make money. The thing is, I think I'd lose my mind if I didn't have something fun to do. Not being big on sports, and having dreamed of flying since I can remember, I think I'd enjoy flying.
However, the money in ChemE, even if I don't do research, means I can still fly. That would work. Just as a hobby.
Being an entrepeneur, I still want to make money from my hobbies. I'm going to do my PPL before May, I hope. If I got my flight instructor certification would I then be able to work as a CFI or do I need instrument certification and Commercial I?
