When you graduate, once again weigh your interests against your opportunities.


You took the words right from my fingertips. There are those who started out passionate about flight, then once they jumped in discovered it wasn't all they thought it would be. There are also those who weren't sure, but upon careful exploration discovered that there is nothing else they would rather do. Find out who you are. From your post, you have a good head on your shoulders. Don't be in a hurry.
