Hello and Welcome!

Our story is similar to others who have posted. My hubby made a decision at the age of 28 to make a career change into the aviation field. Prior to this career changing decision, he had worked 10 years with United Parcel Service (UPS)- an absolutely great company with great benefits, great pay, etc... but bottom line my hubby was not happy delivering the packages (he wants to fly the packages!)

So...we made the choice together to make this dream of his a reality- and today he has recently made Captain upgrade and is working with a Regional Airline. I am so incredibly proud of all that he has accomplished and even more proud that he believed in himself enough to follow a dream. Leaving a great paying job of 10 years is a very scary action, but living a life and having a job that you don't love is scarier.

Good luck to you both- it is difficult (I will promise you that), but absolutely rewarding.
