I wouldn't go as far as to say that but at the end of a day, it is just a job, which many people would love, but it has it's downsides and yes, things like flying offshore will never pay enough when you compare the risks to say flying an airliner. eg First officers in one UK airline get very nearly what some captains get offshore.
It's all horses for courses. I wouldn't fancy doing the pre-flight amongst mosquitos tho. You can keep that part of it. I think many people think ooh, flying out in the GOM, great. When you hear the small things like the post above, I think it makes you think more.
