Hello Penguina!
Welcome to the fold. I too am a newbie having only qualified this summer. It has been very enjoyable for the most part so far and the flying experience and people skills gained after just a short while are immeasurable.
On a good day it's the best job in the world - on a bad day it's just another boring job (and boy have I had my fair share of those!) so personally I cannot grumble so far (not had any major scares apart from the odd air prox!). Loving the privilage of giving instruction on something very special to genuinely interested and interesting people. The shared feeling of achievement when a student grasps a new skill is wonderful and some days I have to pinch myself on the way home to remind myself how freakin' lucky I am!
VFE.
