I've been a Captain for a number of years now, and I know of FO's who are making more than me, and who have a much better life than me. I'd swap jobs with them in a heartbeat.
Many Captains told me this same thing when I was a FO and I was searching for the Holy Grail of an upgrade, but the shiny glitter of the fourth stripe (and a lot of pressure from other FO's while having beers, I've never had a strong personality) precluded me from realizing this.
Just my two cents of a SGD...
