Well, a few weeks ago a responded to a post in the Collegiate Aviation section about my rationale behind continuing my pursuit of an aviation degree even though I have a bicuspid aortic valve. However, I believe that topic has since been deleted.
The main theme was that I do have a backup plan in a field (law enforcement) in which everyone says get a degree in something else. Since I'm not gonna waste four years getting a degree in something I don't like, I might as well just get my ratings at the same time.
And how did I choose which field I was going to pursue as a career when I wanted to do both equally? Well, you can be a pilot at just about any level and still become a reserve officer, but you can't really be a law enforcement officer and be able to afford flying on the weekends.
