You forgot:
TC (could happen)
AirForce
and Astronaut ;)

I'd personally like to see this poll run again with all the other suggestions included.

Good topic Pika. When I stared in this business, I was looking towards the airlines. Most of the guys I learned to fly with, were in the same boat. After getting a CPL, I thought briefly of becoming a "bush pilot". This was "back in the day" (WTF is "the day"?) I never really thought of instructing as an end game. Been there, did that...didn't really it. I did the sked airline bit for a while.....way too much politics. I'm a rogue....like you didn't know! I did the "freight" thing. At night, yet. Now that was the best of all. I really dug it, man! Bush charter came next...really like that as well! But, for my money, it's the night freight dog gig that was my all time fav. So, while I started looking at DC8's and 707's as the ultimate goal, I'm really happy never to have "arrived" there.
