Hey "CW', If you can enjoy the total experience and handle it like a 'hobby', then go for it - You will definitely live longer - and more 'satisfyingly'...is that a word..?
In all of my 'limited' flying career, I never ever considered flying as 'working for a living'.....and I thoroughly enjoyed it, mostly in the 'GAFA' as a charter piiot, and in more civilised places as an instructor..
ENJOY !!
