Hi !
I've been with Nick and he was 28 or 29 when he changed careers (started all over again) to become a pilot. I don't think you are ever too old to change careers, however I know the older you are the harder it is! He was making excellent money and managed 40 people at his old job (where he was able to use his engineering degree). As a flight instructor (when I met him in 2002) it was financially difficult for him! However he loves what he does which made him work hard to get to the regional level in 2003. Since he was a little boy he dreamed of flying 757s internationally so he worked hard to build time at Mesa and then was hired at Continental in 2007. I wish I could live my job like he loves his!

Welcome aboard the site!
