Quite right. My FTO was full of starry eyed young hopefulls like that. Even before my training I was thinking of my first job being flying Caravans or droppin' chutists in a An-2 over Estonia. When I get my CPL, i'll put an add out in Pilot:

"Pilot for hire. Will fly for food and water. Willing to
include floor scrubbing as part of duties."
