Definetely NOT set. hehe. I live in Pittsburgh. I was getting paid 50k to do a 100+ k job. Got laid off and haven't found anything in my field yet. Keep hearing 'overqualified.' And then the deludge of people thinking that people were making a great easy living in computers, flooded the market where people that do the hiring can not tell the difference between a moron and a genius. Thus, making it even harder to find a 'normal' job. I am making it however, I am back into sales which is what I started with during college years. Soon, I will probably reach what I was making in my computer job with some hard work. The hours are much better though. And if I decide to go flying or golfing...I CAN whenever the heck I want to. So , yea I am used to jobs paying 80k in baltimore paying about 1/2 to 1/3 here. But who wants to live in a cease pool anyway? (no offense to baltimorons.. ) HA!
I am probably going to specialize in something in my industry to provide me with both better security and of course pay. Not fun not being able to afford glue 'this paycheck' ehhe.
Yes bill, many --- holes can ruin any airfield. There is one near my house that is nicer, bigger, and closer. But I don't go there because of said above individuals. There are a few guys that fly EVERYDAY and monopolize the air space. Then give you attitude if you show up. HA. Then there are the people that grab your model and start molesting it like it's their own. I am big on personal space and am usually only about a nanosecond away from punching someone in the nose.
So it's probably best I stay where the people are friendly, mellow, fun and funny. The one thing I hate is when the airfield is busy and the people flying do the SAME thing with the SAME plane everytime. It's SO boring to watch and to deal with. I don't know what you guys deal with, but more than two planes in the air and I'm getting paranoid. MY brother and I have probably two mid air misses each time we fly together, but that's probably because we should know better.
Yes I am jealous of your airfield, but never would I move because of that. I would move if all the women were pretty, jobs plentiful, people carry themselves with class and dignity regardless of income, and there is a change of seasons. Our winters keep those really nasty bugs and festering uglies in check once a year.
Tom, hows the weather up there buddy, you flying or you done for the year? I haven't ask you in emails ...just wondering. gonna be 45+ tomorrow. Can't wait to fly.
