that's a question i've been asking myself over the past 6.5 years......I first got involved with the industry in 2004, took a break after 2006 and found it difficult to get back in. Now I am doing some aviation related job, though not flying but I still find it challenging.......but i gotta agree if you're after money, then it's just enough to survive
,if you ask me whether or not it's worth it, then I'd probably say yes.
