Yes the job has t and c beaten down, but you most surely be proud of your job! I know there are charity workers paid peanuts that are hugely proud of their job!

You dont need to be paid a lot to be proud of your job and achievements!

Yes you are not paid as what you were 10 yrs ago, but every day you climb aboard a hugely expensive piece of kit, fly the bucket and spade brigade to costa del sol, safely and on time. No matter how grim and miserable the weather is, you climb through it into blue sunshine. That is an achievement, and ask anyone that sits at a desk full time (I have been staring at the same spreadsheet since 7am, 12 hrs ago, and get paid less!) and they would swap their left nut to be in your office in the sky
