McRIppy, you are an idiot mate!
I could've studied law if I wanted to, but have never had any desire to - I couldn't think of many things more dull. Likewise, there are many other careers I could have pursued that would have found me in a better financial position today. However I chose aviation because it was/ is my passion.
Believe it or not, some people choose their careers for reasons other than remuneration or status.
I totally agree that there are many instructing for the wrong reasons, likewise I agree that people who offer to work for nothing are c**ts, but the rest of your argument is crap.
If you're chasing the big $, then I would have thought someone of your intellect would have figured out it's not in aviation, so why not do something else (why not try teaching?
)
TL, talking yourself up again, I think you need to be sent back to the crack for a little R&R
