If you want to make a lot of money, go be a lawyer, surgeon or something in finance.

If you want to make a lot of money and fly, go be a lawyer, surgeon or something in finance and hire an aircraft at weekends and holidays.

If you want to be in debt until at least your mid 30's, have no control over your life, like feeling jetlagged and fatigued and welcome the opportunity to lose your licence and livelihood every 6 months throughout your working life then a career in commercial aviation awaits you.

Foxy gives good advice. If you really feel the need to fly full time, do it in the military. Commercial aviation just isnt worth it nowadays. Thousands think it is though and every year thousands more sign up for extortionately priced training courses. By the time they finally score a pay to fly (ie you pay the airline to work) job and realise what they have really signed up for it is too late to back out and the industry continues its race to the bottom.

Will things change? Of course they will. They will get much, much worse.
