I don't get it
How is aiming low and hitting failing? Alot of people I have met in life like ordinary almost mundane stuff and don't seem to upset about the robot like jobs they have. Most have little stress and get all the weekends and public holidays off and no real overtime. The pay packets aren't huge but they don't chuck money around and live within means.
People fail because they aim far above their abilities and no one seems to want to pull them down a peg with a reality check. This "everyone gets a trophy" sh#t that is all the rage right now simply puts unrealistic expectations on young people who think they should get a medal just for turning up to a job interview.
The fact of the matter is alot of people on here ignored the warnings of no jobs in aviation and went ahead with spending bucket loads of cash on something that didn't have a firm job offer at the end. (they think that just cause they worked really hard for a fATPL then they should get a job for effort!)
News flash guys and girls, only the best performers get medals and most of you will never get on the podium. The sooner that gets through to most of you the better.
