Take everything with a pinch of salt. Not everyone has the ability, aptitude or perseverance to become a professional pilot. Someone has to come bottom of the class or get straight 75s in their ATPLs. There are plenty of people that probably shouldn't be in an airliner but are because they bought themselves a licence and got lucky. It's a spectrum. Be at the other end of it.
Remember also it's a cyclical business; a lot of people miss-time it, miss the wave then give up because they can't wait for the next one. Right now it's the perfect time to start paddling, but be quick.
