Poor job. Low pride.
Many of my colleagues are unhappy, but stuck in their positions. Flying is no different from other jobs in that respect. Pressure from management, pressure from crew, and the 6-monthly pressure from LPC/OPC's, not forgetting annual medicals and Line Checks. All of this is to be faced while pay goes down in real terms.
This results in a poor level of pride for too many folks flying heavy metal. Thankfully, most take a pride in their professionalism, which is a different thing.
(As for living the dream, the dream died a long time ago....we were all keen as mustard to begin with. No longer)
