It'd be a career plan if I wasn't so sure in my mind that my chances at getting such a career are highly improbable. I'd only want to fly charter plans and have no real desire to fly commercial, and the only way to fly charter is to have beaucoup hours.. Only way to have hours is to have a job, and that means either commercial, CFI, or military... I'm ruled out the latter option medically, the middle option doesn't pay jack, and the former only pays after you've amassed beaucoup hours... My former instructor personally informed me of the downsides to the career before he quit instructing himself.

But I keep it in mind as an option.. Maybe I'm not cut out for a career in law.. Who knows. I still need a bachelors' degree to be a pilot anyway so after I get VFR and hopefully Instrument rated we'll see how things go.
