>> chose the path of "professional pilot, hobbyist engineer" over the alternative of "professional engineer, hobbyist pilot"

Both pay well for a job, but as a hobby the costs are very different ;-)

I loved programming before doing it as a job. Now, I really can't be bothered to program outside of work.

At what age did you make this change?

I love medicine, researching diseases I hear about and learning about the body is hobby for me. I would love to get into it but I am almost 40.

You're young! Saying that as a fellow almost-40.

I'm surprised how wide the acceptance age range is for BA's program (18-55). Is it common for people to transfer from unrelated careers? Nice to know that door isn't technically shut for a while!
