Here's a question: If you're sure that skydiving is your passion, how devoted do you really have to be in order to become really successful? With all the time it requires not only for training, but the time it takes to save money for training and equipment, how focussed do you have to be on the sport? If you really wanted to become a very skilled jumper, does it make sense to try to get an education at the same time, or is that just a waste of time? I am asking this for advice and also to learn about how all of you became the skilled jumpers you are today and what that takes. I am new to the sport, but I have never been so passionate about anything before (I'm sure a lot of you can relate)... I know there are a lot of people out there who keep it as purely a recreational hobby, but if you really want to be a devoted, talented, competitive jumper, what does it really take?
