flyantonov is right...
several of my friends fly big planes and are just bored.
one told me each time he stay in the cockpit for 10-15 hours (B777), he asks himself:" what I am doing here? will I do this the rest of my life??"
he sticks with his company for the money.Once he enter in the cockpit, he knows he won't get out for 15 hours!!! he is tired, can not sleep well...
another one I know, on B747, is sick of jetlag, hotels...why he stay? for the money! tired too....
learning to fly is interesting, but doing the same procedure everyday , is very boring. Everyday the same procedures, same callouts...4-6 times a day!!!
I think this job is pretty much limited...no much to learn. Once you got your ATP, you will understand what I mean.it's not like flying a plane on Simulator X or FS 2004.
don't focus on airline jobs only! anyway there is no job for a 200 pilot...so keep dreaming...no one will give you a job!
