Cheers everyone. I think I’ll go ahead and try my luck for a spot. Side note, do you find time to go on vacations and travel? I think that’s one part that I like about my current job and would like to keep. Though most of you are probably airline pilots and just want to be home most times. I think I read somewhere that you have to check in with your unit and so long you are not going to Moscow you should be good.

Worried that I might not be able to balance both. Working in healthcare is nice in that schedule is very flexible, you can work 10s,12, 24 hour shifts, 7 days on 7 days off, you name it. But being proficient in both medicine and flying would be rough. At the very least I feel studying would consume all my free time. Then again when I get free time, I think about going flying, might as well get paid for it. Cheers for the insight !

Very stoic. Thank you sir, I'll try to apply that to my life.

Hello! Mid twenties working in healthcare with few logged hours under my belt. Been considering a career change and try for a guard spot. Current job is somewhat interesting and rewarding, but it just feels like a job and like I am putting my life on pause until I clock out. Does flying ever start feeling like that? I have read enough from pilots leaving service to understand there is a lot of desk work and duties outside of flying, but at the end of the day you still get to do some amazing flying, with amazing people, wear flight suits, and all the prestigious things that come with being a pilot. It just feels childish to quit a stable career I built so far to start from 0 with no guarantee it would work out. Cheers in advance for any advice !
