Well I hope that I stuck this in the right forum.
At any rate here it goes. I will soon be at a crossroad, and I am not sure how I want to take that crossroad as of yet. About the end of May, beginning of June I should have all of my certs and ratings done up to and including the CFI-I, and I will definately be looking for some work, however, I am also concurrently applying for an electrician apprenticeship (sp?) where the classes start in June. I have an IN with the union president so I am pretty much guarenteed the apprenticiship as long as I pass the apptitude test (read: no problem). The program is a 3 year program starting at $15.00+/hr. and $30.00+/hr at the end of the 3 years.
My question of advice is what course of action should I take once I get to June. Should I pursue the full time CFI job, or should I instruct part time and take the apprenticeship, with my final goal in life flying airplanes for the rest of my life and using the electrician gig to fill the gaps and make some money on the side when I can.
I hope I made some sense out of all of this.
Thanks,
Mike
