I used to work for a low cost airline in the UK where I like many moaned alot about all sorts of aspects of the job. Then I was made redundant, and now I have nothing to moan about, and no income! Bus429 makes a very good point: put up with what happens at work because for those few hours they own your backside, and enjoy the time off, and enjoy spending the salary that you earned dealing with the work stuff!

Overall as pilots the salary is pretty good, the job is pretty good, the actual work isn't that hard, the time off is not bad, the hours and schedule can be pretty random, but aren't too bad, and the rest is up to you. And unlike many professions you don't have to stay late at the office very often, and you don't get people phoning you at all hours during your days off (like my girlfriend does, and she's a head mistress in a small rural primary school). We will always find something to moan about, but be aware of how picky you are being about what you moan about!
