In 1984 I earned an instrument rating. These last two items may not seem like they are important educationally but they are. Some combination of engineering and business with an emphasis on engineering is the best suggestion I can give. You can pick up the business, but the engineering is just too complex to acquire on the job. Mostly I find that hard work pays off in achievement and self-actualization.
Surprises do occur but they are rare.
My wife and I like to travel both in our airplane around this continent and on commercial tours elsewhere. I have been building an airplane in our garage for the past four years, which I hope to complete by December. Occasionally we fly in a cross-country air race and the design is being modified to be compatible with that activity. We like to go to the theater several times a year. There really isn't any time for much more than a long talk over breakfast on Sunday mornings.
