Is work for the little people?

[Horizon]

I'm telling' you, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who works for a living, chipping away at my training as time and money will allow.

How are these "other" kids doing it? College-educated jet-pilot at 26, and didn't PFT?

You cannot honestly tell me that someone hasn't been helping out with the incredible expenses.

Just wondering...

Don't laugh, I knew an FO from Great Lakes that recieved TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families). He also received subsidized childcare. No joke.

As funny as it sounds, I know it to be an unfortunate truth. Purely disgusting.

Every day holds 24 hours in it, and only 6-7 hours are needed for sleep. If working 14-18 hours a day for several days in a row, one may require additional sleep after four or five days. Eating may be accomplished while performing work, and excersise may be incorporated into a regular days work.

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case coincidence????

If it takes you an hour to drink one beer you're just not working hard enough- or you're 12.

Hmm, Federal and State Governments helped out a bit. They want to be paid back, but they don't accept food stamps, so they'll wait patiently. The good news is that if the student loans aren't paid off in 20 years, they'll forgive the balance.

Then there was working a rotating split-shift part-time job at 35 hours a week while working a second full-time job.

You do pay for training. Be it blood, sweat, or tears, you do pay for it.

Fly SAFE!

Its a choice of time or money. I chose time. It worked out better.

Save yourself the agony and take out a loan. How old are you?
