As many of you know, my son is taking flight lessons. He's past solo,
and into his cross-country flights.

He's a senior in high school, and is wondering what to do with the
rest of his life. His initial aim has been going into engineering,
but has decided that math is not something he truly enjoys. (Although
he's good at it -- far, far more advanced than I am.)


Become an Engineer and then buy his own plane.

I am an engineer and I had to wait a loooonnnnngg time to buy a plane.

Started flying in 1970, bought plane in 1996. In between paid for homes,
raised 2 kids, owned a 21' boat (sold boat in 1996), college for both,
had vacations, etc. You did great to get one in four years out of college.

I was watching moon-shots, as a ten-year old, in 1970.

Moon shot - Apollo 13 was the only one in 1970
