Forget about the fun in helicopter flying. I have neen flying helis for 27 years with 15000hrs but I get paid just like a junior 737 capt with my national airline.I should have opted for the Airlines when I had the offer and chance 17 years ago and I am still regreting my decision. But then 17 years ago heli pilots get more than fixed wing counterparts in my area.Go fly fixed wing for a living and fly helis for sport or part time.Good Luck!
