You're here on this planet once. Why would you want to spend it working for a hedge fund in an office pouring over facts and figures about whether to invest in a company or not? Booooooring. No wonder it has to pay a decent salary.
Yes it may ooze money but money is not the be all and end all of life. You work to live not the other way round. As I say you're here once, you may as well enjoy what you're doing even if it isn't hedge fund wages.
An EZY Captain earns well over £100k a year. If you can't be happy on that kind of wage you need to have a chat with yourself.
I'm an EZY Captain, been here a long time and enjoy it. I may not be on hedge fund wages but I put food on the table, I heat my house and I pretty much want for nothing. I have a good life.
I guess your glass is either half full or half empty. If you enjoy flying then get back into it. Hope to meet you around the network.
