The situation is not good even in other fields, if you move outside the aviation I don't think so you could improve your quality life, unless you want to be a dentist or optician. But from what I think you are not. Doctors, engineers, all of kind of jobs which in theory are used to have a good payscale and quality life, they are experiencing the worst work conditions than ever. The problem is not just aviation related but worldwide related. I'll give you an example. My cousine is a surgery doctor with 20 years of experience in the sector. He has recently receive a pay cut of 1500 Euro and in the last period he was forced to do a shifts of almost 18 hours due to personal cut in the hospital, and therefore not enough personal to cover them. At the end, after he has been accepting all this exhaustive conditions to keep his job, yesterday his boss gave a fire notice and he will be jobless in 15 days. Do you think that just moving out aviation it would improve your life?
