Jambone,
there is nothing like 'guaranteed' job. Neither for doctors nor for lawyers, pilots, engineers etc.
I'm a law school graduate. I've decided to become a pilot (after 2 years in law firm). I can tell you that my university fellows share the same frustration as newbies in aviation. It's life. Who said that success is an easy thing to reach??
Aviation industry is just like any other. I see no difference between flight school and law school graduates. Not only in Poland, where I come from. My spouse has graduated law in London. She (and her friends from Med School) can tell you sth. about 'guaranteed' succes.
ct8282. Thanks for your post. I've came back to Europe from the US and I felt as depresse as you were. I think this is solely a matter of approach and attitude. I take yours
