I think there's a difference between pros and pilots like us though. We don't have to do it, they do because it's their living so I guess it's a completely different mindset. I wouldn't want to be a commercial pilot or instructor, I could see me getting jaded with it if I had to do it. Flying is the one thing in my life that is a pure indulgence for me and I want it to stay that way.
It's also nice just to sit around at the club on a sunny day and do nothing. There's many a time I've gone up there with the intention of flying and have been content enough just to pass the time swapping tall stories with mates lounging about on the grass.
