I am seriously considering earning my Flight Dispatchers certificate this year - it is a career change - or more accurately, a career course correction. I have been an aviation nut for my entire life, had planned when I was young to be a pilot. Fate and life interfered, but earned my degree in Meteorology, thinking I could at least be near aviation, which it did for a while. In my 30's, I diverted to an alternate career in technology sales, and after almost 20 years of that, throw in a ruined marriage and a mound of debt. I need a reason to get up in the morning, need to be self-sufficient, and need to do something that I love. I know getting a job after I get my license means leaving everything behind, relocating, starting over. I need to ask those of you that have done it, especially those approaching their 50's - Am I out of my mind?
