I am blessed with a great, supporting wife so that shouldn't be an issue. She, as I, realize the importance of loving your job. IMO it always trumps money...thanks for the warm welcome!

Thanks for the reassurance on my age. I'm kicking myself for not starting earlier though
Yeah, my family definitely comes first in all decisions I make.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I mentioned a degree in something else in case the day comes that I'm laid off or the pilot profession dwindles. Hope it never does, but I suppose I'm just trying to cover all my bases. In a perfect world I would prefer the aviation sciences and similar degree though.

Will my Associates go towards getting my Bachelors? Or would I be better off sticking my credits towards my Bachelors?
Thanks everyone for the kind replies, I love this forum!
