The more important question is do you want to be an EE or a pilot? Money is nice, but it doesn't make up for spending 40-50 hours/weeks in a job you don't enjoy. |

I think that is why there are a lot of pilots who are career changers. They went into the business world, they chased the money (some found it others didn't), they chased the lifestyle (what ever one they were after) and they ultimately discovered that they were not happy!
Those that made the change (whether it was to aviation or another field that they were interested in) were the lucky ones. They realized that in order to achieve what they want in life and be happy with thier place in life, they need to be happy with themselves. And in order to due that, they needed to pursue a profession that made them happy.
Everyone lives and dies, but only a select few really live!
