So there is a show from BBC called “worst place to be a pilot”. Its about people getting their pilots license and flying commercially in
Indonesia.
A couple dudes in their 40s chucked it all to to go fly there. I am in my 40s, and if I were to dump it all to be a pilot, I’d probably do it in
Indonesia (or China, or India, or Kenya or some other foreign market). I would not want to fly in the states.
Hell, if I was truly financially secure, and my wife was onboard, I’d chuck it all and go live VanLife, or go Euro VanLife, or Africa Vanlife. (My wife is not down with VanLife).
I guess what I have to say is, “you have options man, and if you are going to chuck it all to go flying, do it somewhere where you are not having to fly FAT-SMF when you live in DesMoines”.
