It's a pretty good question, isn't it?
Why become a pilot in the 20-double digits? (or whatever this decade we have just started is called).
For those who've been in aviation for a little bit, or more, what sage advice do you (can you) give to the next generation?

With regards to the NZ scene (and not necessarily limited to), it has to be going through one of the biggest hurry up and wait cycles for some time.
All a bit morbid or just too cynical?
