Life in Aviation

Stop hanging out with any friends outside of the industry you work in entirely. Once a week, pick a random place on the globe no matter how remote and make it a priority to be there the following morning no matter the cost. Every year or less, move yourself and all of your belongings  to a place at least 3,000 miles from where you are at the moment where you have never lived in before, preferably on a different continent. Give up your personal life. Constantly talk about how amazing it is to be able to be doing these things. Do this for about 5 years. Then you might begin to understand what it's like to work in aviation. Although most people I know have been doing it for over 15 years.
