In 10 years you can be earning $250, be respected as a white collar professional pilot and have a great quality of life (provided you don't try to commUte). On the other hand, you can grow your beard, possibly be expected to wash your helicopter, refuel your helicopter, be expected to load cargo and after the end of the day feel like a grease monkey in your jump suit for, if you're lucky $100k. Don't wait, the longer you do the harder it will be to make the change.
