Default Isn't this opposite of how it should work?

while in school, i had all the free time in the world. at work (Wilke service center) all i would do was surf the net and bs with people. never did homework or projects unless they were required, and played a lot of games.

now...
I work 3 jobs (2 flight instructing, other is UPS for benefits) and have almost zero free time unless there is craptacular wx like there is today or all week. i spend my time either working (not a bad thing building hours and it is fun (UPS isn't though)) or studying so i can teach the proper things to my student.

no that sounds like most people's typical working life.

theres a reason why people in the workforce will encourage you to stay in school as long as possible!

So, I've always wondered, what kind of people in Grand Forks get flight instruction?

According to a friend of mine who used to CFI at GFK Flight Support: Airbase... but other than that, people in Grand Forks wanting to fly? Yeah right.

Air base people are a good portion of it.

right now my student base consists of:
2- AFB guys
1- high school student
2- UND students (1 aviation, other something else)

i have a few more as well, but they are not flying yet, one person from northwood, etc

BTW: i don't only instruct at GFKFS, i also am at CKN
