The key points i focussed on was the Travelling, the physics behind flying and the fact that being pilot is a never ending learning experience.
...makes it sound like you'd rather be a holiday rep or a scientist.

Honestly, if anyone needs to ask what to say to this question, I worry that they won't be very happy with a lifetime career as a pilot.

Travelling - really? That used to be one of the replies to avoid, same as 'the glamour' or 'I like the uniform'. There are easier ways to go travelling than the effort and expense of becoming a professional pilot.

It's simple - you should love flying. And you want to be a professional pilot because you have a need to do it at the highest level. Lots of people love flying for a hobby but they aren't suited to doing it as a career.

In other words, you don't want to spend your life doing anything else.

Those who know, know.
