Sympathy
I have some sympathy for your view and am a fellow IT person who has decided to commit to pilot training despite the financial implications.
Yes it pisses me off that there are a lot of rich kids out there whose parents are prepared to pay for their pilot training when the rest of us mere mortals have to put our lives on the line for it. I have however come to the conclusion that spending £100 000 (including loss of earnings) to become an airline pilot is about the same amount I'd have to invest in a small business such as a shop and far less than I'd have to invest to open a decent B&B (which are other options I have considered in moments of weakness when the going seemed tough).
I have a wife, a large mortgage and can't afford to screw up but presuming I get the job I want for the next 20 years it will have cost me £5000 per career year to be happy at work which is trivial.
