RE: Quiting this hobby?
Dont give it up buddy...
I'm a junior in chemical engineering at the University of Tulsa, planning on getting my commercial pilot's license and using the engineering job to fund the eventual career change. We're a top notch private engineering school and it's expensive ($25k/yr). I'm paying for it all myself, but I have still managed to stay very involved. I just got back into flying lately after a 5 year hiatus. It is just a matter of priorities. I have a girlfriend, bills, job, school, AND I just bought a brand new U-Can-Do, 8U Tx, all new Hitech digitals, new engines...etc. If you REALLY want to fly, you will find a way. Just don't let it interfere with your school
