Not quite a crisis, as I'm past that part of realizing I'm not happy with what I'm doing and doing what I need to do now to make aviation my career.

But have finally decided that I am going to take the plunge. I am 26, have a decent paying job in sales. Though, not making me happy at all- very miserable actually. Flying is what I want to be doing. I am starting to take lessons once a week starting next week to at least get the process started. By July I plan to "retire" from my current job and plan to finance my ratings and hold down a much more simple part-time job so that I can focus my studies on my ratings.

I am visiting a bunch of local FBO's/Schools in CT, RI and MA to get an idea and feel for each of them before I make my final decision for July. I'm starting my lessons at Premier Flt Ctr in Hartford @ Brainard Airport.

Wish me luck!
Why dont you keep your sales job and work all your ratings off so you will be debt free. It will open up more options when you finish all of your ratings.
