"slavery..." FFS!
To the best of my knowledge in Oz you still have freedom of choice...so choose wisely (or what ever suits your situation and you resolve within yourself).
Guarantee if you ask a group of 25-ish pilots Vs a group of 55-ish pilots their priorities will be different, money Vs lifestyle Vs "happy wife and family..." and all that crap.
Bad choice of word IMHO, expect better please.
