Anybody who has left this career and done something different?

Nothing will stop the slide.

Flying for 12 years, 737 skipper for 4. My 15 y/old Son wants to be a pilot. I’m doing all I can to steer him down another path.
Yes the whole world has changed, but some industries change faster than others. I’m actively looking to do something else and if I get a sniff of another opportunity, I’ll be off, “like a rat out of an aqueduct!”
1980 = Fantastic career
1990 = Good
2000 = OK
2010 = Poor
2020 = ???
The problem is not so much the change, it’s the rate of change. Absolutely nothing will stop this slide.
I’m unhappy now, but terrified about what it will be like in the years to come.
