Why do it if it's not fun?

Ok, I don't get it. What is this thread about?

No one is under any impression that pilots are well-paid. Everyone on this forum knows that if they want to earn as much money as possible they should find another career. Many people - myself included - are already in careers where we have more earning potential than we would have as pilots.

So why are we training to be pilots?

Because we love flying! We're prepared to accept a lower wage than we could get in other careers in order to do something which we love.

Certainly if the previous paragraph doesn't apply to you, you should look at a career as a train driver, or a plumber, or just about anything else. But those of us who want to become pilots already know that we will be under-paid, and have accepted this. Or, if we haven't accepted it, we're in for a big shock when we get our first job...
