Well for the past 5 years i've been working for a civil engineering firm surveying/designing/managing. Made good money, well must have to have a fully modded FD and a badass mini. Anyways after a hectic year with many highs and lows I've decided to make another life change, good time while i'm young at 23. I was accepted into the Spartan school of aeronautics to become a professional pilot, and will be moving to Tulsa Oklahoma around September. They get about 50k interested applicants a year, and weed the field down to about 1500 who they accept, 250 of those become proffessional pilots......so I was pretty happy to find out I was accpeted. Time for me to become a poor student in MAJOR debt, but I can't wait

Good luck to you. There is nothing better than flying. It is the most fun, exhilarating thing that I do with my spare time. I am dentist. I got my private pilot's license in 1993 along with my instrument rating and my twin rating. If I had learn to fly before I went to dental school, I never would have been a dentist. I would have been a professional pilot instead. You will love every minute of it. You also are going to one of the top schools for this type of education.
Good luck and have fun with it.
