joe, as a kid growing up in LJ, I was always interested in flying, and when the grandparents offered to send all of us to college, we had the opportunity to choose our field of interest, and I chose aviation.
Received my degree in Aerospace Engineering, as well as pilot training and flight hours from an Aeronautical University, Embry-Riddle, dubbed the “Harvard of the sky,” and was hired by a major carrier right out of college.
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I’ve really enjoyed the career, as it is one of the few that, as you achieve seniority, allows you a lot of free time to devote to the family, and to pursue other goals and interests in conjunction with flying.
Sounds like you’ve done very well for yourself with your background, and later in life, when you have more time, after your family is raised, you might want to get your private pilots license. There are lots of schools here in San Diego, so that’s something you might consider.
