Why Do We Do It?

I am about to undertake my ATPL(H) exams, am studying to a point that cannot be described but only understood by those who have done it! I continue to pump vast sums of money into this "lifestyle" that i cannot even see the end point of yet!
EG £480 spent on one lot of exams recently!

Then I come onto the terrific forum which is great but scares the h ell out of me when pilots say well never earn much because people are willing for FREE!!!
Some chap posted the other day with a picture "WILL FLY FOR FOOD"!!!

So why do we do it?

I can think of about 4 undescribable moments in a helicopter that even now must be driving me to do what in any other field/career would be mad.

Anybody else know what im on about???

MADY
