I’m in the same funk as many of the people on this page. Work, eat, sleep, etc. I’ve decided that if I’m gonna snap out of it I need to do something that I’ve never done before. In a couple weeks I’m gonna go sky diving with a couple frinds, just for the hell of it. That’s the ultimate test to see how quickly I can snap out of this funk.

I’m in the middle of my research into becoming a heli pilot. Only eighteen and not sure what i want to do with my life but this has been a consistent interest for over 2 years and my love of all things that fly (aviation in general) all my life really lead me to this.

If you look deep into it this is a very difficult career (mostly day-to-day when it comes to your level of focus and skills) but if you have the traits that help to do it (light weight [no more than 215lbs or so], good depth perception, hand-eye coordination, etc.), then go for it. My problem is the cost (from what I’m seeing as of this year [2007] it ends up being as much as 60+ grand to do it). Finding a good company with ties to good financing orginizations is key unless you’re rich of course.
