Default Air minded

My uncle got his airplane cert and bought a piper cherokee when i was
in elementary school. i flew with him a few times including some
short XC trips to see my mom. i had a fairly typical set of airplane
toys when i was a kid but didn't really "always dream of being a
pilot". In high school i worked at my dad's pizza restaurant and a
few CFI's started working there after they got a break from flying
thanks to 9-11. Then i decided i wanted to be an airline pilot so i
went through all the power training through Multi Engine Instructor.
By the time I was done with that I realized that I didn't want to be
an airline pilot but being a corporate pilot couldn't be that bad. My
parents had other ideas and made me go to college so i had a "real
job" backup. So I went to Aerospace Engineering school and basically
by chance learned to fly gliders. I worked a lot as a CFI and Charter
pilot while sometimes going to class. Now I work as an engineer but
really just want to fly gliders all the time.
