| As a kid I wanted to be a pilot. Not in the airforce or a commercial airline. I actually wanted to fly C130 aid shipments in and out of remote places in Africa. (Think the movie Air America with Mel Gibson, but humanitarian aid rather than guns :-) )
So, at 18 I actually went and got my private pilot's licence. Have logged about 110 hours or so.
However, then I went and travelled a while (a year in South Africa), discovered that beer ate up most of my money, couldn't afford to fly anymore. Then got into bikes and that's where all my money went.
Did an arts degree at Uni, thought I wanted to be a journalist. Ended up as an IT business analyst/product manager. |
