So I finally built my first base! So stoked!! Woooohoooo!! Can’t wait to throw this lock on!!!

…… wait I forgot to set the code?! …………. All my base stuff is inside?!?!

Fml

Has anybody on here ever taken this course? Did you actually make it to an airline? What was the actual cost going in? I got a ton of questions about it lol.

So just as the title says, I’m 27, Male, and have just over $100k from inheritance and I’m really not too sure what to do with it.

For context, at the moment I’m working for my friends fathers exhaust cleaning company. I make okay money, nothing great.. no benefits, basically maxed out what they can pay me.. and need to move on from working with friends, find a real career and figure out how to grow this inheritance.

I’ve had some ideas, some crazier than others, and just want to see what you guys think.

-My first idea (the craziest) is spend this 100k on flight school, with the dreams of making it to a major airline, or atleast a regional. I don’t have any degree, so I would probably end up taking some sort of 4 year degree as well (something like criminology, buisness, etc.) as I know a degree really helps with landing those sorts of positions wether it be aviation related or not.

• ⁠My second idea is to forget the first, get a buisness license, exhaust cleaning certificate, and start my own exhaust cleaning company. I’ve been doing this job basically since out of high school ( 9 ish years ) so I know it pretty well, but I also do know there’s lots of company’s and competition out there, and to get in with major chains such as KFC, Burger King, etc like my boss has, isn’t easy..

-My third option is to get my CDL, and possibly aim towards driving gas tankers (or whatever/whatever is best really). But this would be my last option I think. The lifestyle of trucking doesn’t look that appealing to me, and I don’t think I’d want to live out of a truck for weeks on end.

-I guess my 4th idea I came up with while writing this is should I just focus on taking something such as criminology or buisness, stay at the job I’m at now, and just look for a job in that field in the future ?

I’m honestly kinda stumped. I had a bit of a tough childhood.. living with alcoholic mom, dad not exactly parenting.. mom died the year I graduated high school… didn’t really do great in school because of it even though I’m somewhat smart (I think,) so basically never had any good guidance on what to do after high school, and now 27 and still doing the same job.

Not to sound cocky.. but I feel like I have too good of a head on my shoulders to keep doing trades work for my buddy, but too dumb to really dive in and pull the trigger on something… so any advice really helps, thanks!
