David....
I can't provide much advice, but maybe some encouragement. For guys our age
(I'm 40) doing this is going to be a tough nut to crack...but I think as long
as you go into it with your eyes wide open and realistic expectations, go for
it. When I turned 40 I decided to finally get off my ass and pursue a dream
after 20yrs in the TV News Biz. 30 helicopter hours later I'm on my way and
loving it. I don't have any pie in the sky expectations and at this point am
not sure where this journey will take me...but I'm also being challenged and at
this point in life its great to be challenged. Don't give up on your
dreams...if this is what you really want to do then do it. And never forget
how much fun it was in the beginning. That will get you through the days when
its a 'job'...thats true in any field.
Good luck.
Dave


Thank you very much Dave! It'd good to hear that some people are
attempting and succeeding at the same thing I am looking/hoping to do.
