I did not fall out of love with engineering. I still like it very much and the fact that I can be part of great products and/or projects and see them completed makes me happy. It is very rewarding. I simply LOVE flying more than I do seating on the ground. If I cannot be a Pilot in the Navy I could be a Nuclear Engineer and it pays really well for what I understand (Huge Bonuses). I could serve my 20 years and then work for a DoD contractor and make even more money. I could even get a Masters while I am at it and perhaps a PhD. I could own a plane with a mechanic on the side. I am not sure what to do at this point. I do think that I should get a PPL, but I am trying to pay my debt faster (School loans and crap). I am a huge aviation nerd. I play MSFS like if it was real (VATSIM, for those who might play it).
