I am one of those people who loves flying enough that when I was training for my PPL, I'd be content to just hang out at the hangar near the runway, watching planes land and takeoff after/before my flight lessons...it seemed like the best period of time in my life, and I wasnt getting paid or anything, it was challenging juggling school, flight lessons/exams, extracurriculars...but definitely fantastic, because I was fulfilling a childhood dream.
Most people are like that, I certainly was.

After 10 years doing the job though, Id say, get a well paid 9-5 Mon Fri Job and fly on the weekends for fun.

Do you still think you'll be hanging round the airport to watch some extra take off and landings after having got up at 0400 for the fourth time on the trot and worked an 11 hour day?
