Thanks for being honest. I DO NOT like flying..... I LOVE IT !. That is one of the answers I give if people ask me if I like my job. The same as You it is in the genes. My father was very aviation minded and as a wounding consequence of WWII he could not get a medical. He died 1961 and I became pilot later in my life. I had no intention about it first but it came thru later and family members told me about it. I agree with you that some people just make a licence to have a job and look for the pay they see. Those are the frustrated once in the industrie who do not even like what they do. But others, us included, would give a lot to make the licence and look for a job. After turned down on interviews because of "no expirence" what option do you have then?. Buy hours, go flying and pay for it. And then apply apply apply and one day it matches. There are people out in the world who make theire living from desperates who want to fly and take the best they have, the money. They are not interested if the customer gets a job they want to slice theire part off the cake. That is all. Others keep regular contacts with theire customers and train them only into a position what is available, they are rare, as the jobs are rare. There is a market for both the fair ones and the black sheeps working close to grey zones.
If You like to have a closer insight view write me a PM and I e-mail you.
Good luck and happy landings
