First Post!
I've been out for several years now. I made my first jump in '87 before college. When I went back to school, my folks didn't approve of my jumping and since they were helping with the rent and co-signing loans, I grounded myself. After school I got into a decent paying job outside my career field and started jumping again, then all of that effort in school drove me into the low paying job that I had prepared for.
To sum up, I'm back in the high paying field but still grounded. Now its health reasons, but in less than a year they should be all cleared up. I envy those of you that are out jumping right now, I hope to be joining you next spring.
