I'm always curious...what are the amazingly better options that are available outside of flying? Which career would any disgruntled pilot prefer to pursue?
For me, doctor= LOTS of studying, LOTS of money to train, LITTLE reward/appreciation, POOR working environment etc etc. This is a job that you really have to WANT (as with flying but more so imo).
Solicitor, pah I would rather not shuffle paper and write letters all day but each to their own.
My only alternate career aspiration is trading financial instruments and we all know how that industry is doing right now.
...You pays your money and takes you choice, life isn't a rehearsal but be sure YOU are happy in any decision you make.
