I agree, but this forum is full of threads from people wonderering if they should move north looking for their first job that may pay 25k per year, so they obviously are happy to travel.

There is also plenty of people complaining about pay and conditions.
Ag. pays well right from your first job.

So I am wonderering if these people have thought about Ag.

I know of two new Ag. pilots who are both now flying turbines and will make well over 100k for their first year flying. Both of them have less than 400hrs total time.
Yes it can be dangerous and it is not for everyone, but you would have to agree, this is a much better return on your investment than the alternatives...
