Let me tell you a story of a some of the guys at my field. One is an Aeronautical Engineer at the University of Maryland, just finished his masters. Another one was older and when back to get a third degree in Aeronautical Engineering at the age of 33, just finished getting AE degree. Another one left Maryland to go to Embry-Riddle! All kept flying during this time. Maybe not as much as they would have liked, some more than others but they all kept flying.

The key is budgeting your time and your money. Most of us older guys have families and jobs, but we still are able to fly and enjoy both if we budget our time and our money properly. Remember, flying will always be there and you can do it when you have time, but an education will last a lifetime.

My only advise is don't give up flying, go to school, budget your time and you will have fun doing both!

Good luck with your choice
