I did, for a while at least (in the career capacity). I always loved planes and wanted to be a pilot. However for a while in Junior High I actually toyed with the idea of engineering, but quickly came to my senses.
It wasn't until after High School I went for my original dream and started working on my pilots license. A couple of years later I was instructing here in Calgary. However I left it for the stability and security of the family business, fully knowing that I could always rent a plane and just enjoy flying around.
For me the realization was that I loved flying, not doing it as a job. So ultimately I was happy with my decision to leave the career in it.
