If we lived in a world where money was not a factor...

I would quit my job to become an airline pilot. Too bad that the seniority ranking ladder is absolutely terrible and you make almost no money the first decade.

Sucks doesn't it. I'm contemplating a massive change in career direction but starting at the bottom is really putting me off.

I completely understand. I like my job now and it pays well and all, but I never woke up as a child saying I want to work in a hospital 6 days a week on call for my life.

I am starting to understand how working for money is terrible if you hate your job. But all the jobs that I really would love (like being a pilot) pays almost nothing until your are in your mid to late 40s factoring in that you start in your 20s/early 30s.

My GS3 battery lasts up to 2 days! and thats with sitting on the toilet playing angry birds/bad piggies at least 3 times a day..

So jealous of 3 times a day...

Better hurry up and do it instead of putting it off any longer.

I have already made my decisions. I don't want to be broke until I am in my mid 40s.

I also have 80k more left to pay on my student loans...never could pay that with a pilot job.

I do plan on getting my civilian license to fly and maybe buying a private plane.

Do you think you'll regret not doing it? Do you really hate your job now?

I hate having to be on call, the hours, constantly seeing people die and etc.

It's definitely not a bad job, and my main goal in life has always been to start a family...there is no way a pilot can support a family on that type of income.

Financially and educationally I have met all my goals. But I will say that even as a child I thought the coolest thing you could be is a captain of an airplane.

So if money were not an issue in life, which it is, I would quit my job in an instant and work my way up the pilot ladder.

I am doing basically what I did before but in a completely different environment. I started out not knowing anything about this business and it was stressful to walk into a job like that. I didn't start all the way at the bottom but I'm not the boss like I was before. I only have one employee who reports to me now which is less stressful. Starting at the bottom isn't great salary-wise but it can be less stressful.

I have definitely had to stay on my toes and learn fast being as I have not been in this business for years like everyone else. It is rewarding to know that I have learned so much and have made my way here. I have earned a lot of respect for doing my job well. People are always surprised when I tell them what type of business I came from. It was so different than where I work now.

It's hard to meet all your goal and one goal may have to be sacrificed for another. Sometimes you have to figure which goal(s) are more important than the others. It seems like that is what you're doing. I think that's a perfect example how life isn't always fair.

I agree. I love my job and the company I work for and I make good money. It has it days when it gets stressful but the good days outweigh the bad days. My husband makes good money as well but hates his jobwith a passion!!! Good thing he gets like 8 weeks vacation each year. Makes him hate it a little less when he can take time off like that.

If someone of the opposite sex compliments you on a lift, etc do you assume they are hitting on you?
I do not.
Just curious about yous.

Job=Stay at home mom. It's all I've ever wanted to be. Now that I'm here with 3 young-ish kids I often think "WTH was I thinking??".
Srs. But wouldn't change it for the world either

Nah, it doesn't really feel like they are hitting on me just because they talk about working out. It almost never happens anyways, people are skeered of me in the gym. Dunno why, I'm really nice and talk about training with anyone.

One time there wasn't a lot of people around, so I asked a woman for a spot on close grip bench press. In the middle of my lift, sweat dripped off her into my eye. After I racked the weight I told her not to tell her BF she exchanged body fluids with a guy from the gym lol. She probably thought I was hitting on her.

Would have lol'd with the hardness.

Only if I'm attracted to them.
But I don't make the first move so it's not like I'd be asking for their number or anything, so it would not get weird in the gym.

Guy complimenting girl = most probably looking for a reason to approach/talk to the girl so yes flirting with/hitting on the girl
Girl complimenting guy = girl lifts and is actually impressed, although could be looking for a reason to talk to the guy in rare cases

just imo

I can empathise! I work part time and that is my break. I have a lot of respect for Mum's that are home with their kids 24/7 because I think I would go a little crazy.

I never woke up as a child saying I want to work in a hospital 6 days a week on call for my life.

I know this feeling. I'm leaning towards staying where I am because I get paid decently and have a good work-life balance. I draw my happiness from my personal life.

I hope women don't think this cause I compliment them on here in their journals all the time.

The only time I really compliment women in the gym is if I see one doing squats/deadlift/bench or just lifting hard. There might only be 1 or 2 ever in like a month and it's a 1 time compliment, not incessant compliments.

I just think it's good to let them know they're doing it right. So many women don't lift and just do cardio.

I compliment men too. Anyone that has any sort of strength and isn't just fluffing the weights around.

Yeah, I usually tell dudes that I've seen substantial growth in their physique that they are doing a good job. Most guys I've seen at my gym for at least a year and they look the same...

[levijay]

When I use a public toilet to pee (not urinal) I use my shoe to lift the seat/cover.

That awkward moment when you see a BAD childhood picture of yourself and you have a striking resemblance to Schmiegel.

[RandomRetro]

i've already done half a weeks worth of overtime this month, and that was with a day off.

I'd quite like a massage, and a baby.

Sadly I lack the time, and the boyfriend for either
