significant time and money? Did you regret it?

If you left professional flying, were you able to leverage your aviation experience into another career?

I’m not looking for someone to tell me to follow my dreams at any cost, or simply to tell me to quit. I want honest advice from people who understand the financial realities of aviation and the sacrifices involved.
I’ve pushed through a lot to get my PPL, and part of me feels like walking away would mean all that effort was for nothing. But I also know that continuing solely because of what I’ve already spent isn’t necessarily a good reason to invest even more.
If you were in my position, would you keep going, take a break, or move on and focus on building a stable career?

Thanks for reading.
