Just an update, I got my PPL at the end of April (55 hours total) and finally feel well on my way. Im going to take a break from training for a short while, have some fun, then move on to instrument!

I really enjoyed training and love the flying whole thing more than ever. I was really lucky and got along great with my CFI. I appreciate how really important that is now.

Mostly due to weather it took me a bit longer to complete the training than I planned, but I'm in less of a rush now. Im going to take my time, build hours and experience, and see what the price of oil does to the industry. Hopefully in 1.5 - 2 years I will be where I need to (and people are hiring) and can make a smart decision about the jump to a new career.

Thanks to all for the advice and information. This site has been a great resource.
