Stiglet has it right. Flying is not a job. It's not even a career. It's a vocation. If you come into it for any other reason than being unable to spend your few years here any other way, you've got it wrong.

I'm seeing too many people come into the profession for the wrong reasons. Yes, I did decide to stop flying, but that was after 32 years. And I'm still involved (part time) because it is all still so interesting. Some flying jobs pay a fortune, others are huge fun. Point is, YOU decide how you spend your life. If you don't really think flying is worth it, then stop.

Someone once said, "You can do whatever you want - provided you are prepared to make the necessary sacrifices". That applies.
