So let me get this straight - you're worried about your wife and two kids - which led you to take out an $80k loan and give up a job that would allow you to actually take care of your family? And you were willing to trade that for the chance (emphasis on chance) of making pocket change flying a regional jet? No offense - I hope this works out for the best for you - but it sounds like ATP did your family a favor. How exactly were you planning on supporting them when, given the current loan rates, 110% of your check would go towards paying down your loan?
I know every situation is specific to that individual, but I'm really hoping you're not abandoning your responsibility to your family to chase a dream.
