Reality check
I joined the Air Force at 18, spent some years in a place like a prison (academy), flew fighter jets, left the job security of military, later flew passengers, I have a proficiency check every six months, medical every year, left my hometown, working on holidays and nights, a mistake of mine can have catastrophic consequences and yet we talk about average salaries, GDP, unions and taxes and be happy that we make more than a bartender (not all of us)
