Default Re: Mid life crisis at the age of 26

Hi,

I am in the same situation here however I am already 33 but look more like 22 though.

I hated my job (health care worker). This is my first career. I already graduated from College with 4 years bachelor degree 7 years ago. I got burned out from work. I made decent money. I discoverd flying passion from one of my patient and he actually helped explainging things alot. I want to give it a shot. First, I only thought about money. However, now I got 15 hrs on my PPL, working 2 jobs, and owned a house, I have learned that I love flying. Money is great but not the number one priority.

My instructor told me not to quit my job. The bills will be very expensive. I fly twice a week about 4 hours. I am learning to how land now and feel like I have conquered the world. It is an awesome feeling. I thought about going to ATP and get a loan, sell the house, but people on here told me not to. So, I will take sometimes and work on my ratings. By the way, I am from Dallas. Training in Mckinney.

Just want to share

Louie
