Wheels, as a former turbine mechanic, can you confirm something I heard during my service.

"The only difference between turbine aircraft and turbine pilots is...

Mom: So Billy, what do you want to be when you grow up.

Mom: Sorry Billy, you can’t do both.

Good one! That definitely applied to me. I never grew up. No worries.
