Why is it everyones goal to fly a big jet ??

I may be wrong here, but it seems to me that many people here simple want to fly a jet in an airline and would consider anything else as a 'inferior'.

I like flying aeroplanes, I like being in aeroplanes, I like just being around aeroplanes etc and would be quite happy spending my career flying twin pistons, small turbo props..... anything really. For many who aspire to be pro pilots, why is it that a big shiny jet is the only option ? To my mind, you become a pilot because you enjoy flying and it shouln't matter too much what it is you fly.

Anyone else agree ?
