I still love flying, but totally detest where the aviation industry has plummeted to, attributable to a large extent by the rise of the "Harp".
If you are able to make anything approaching a lucrative living sailing the seas I would recommend sating yourself by enjoying & progressing to the max in "recreational flying" , or indeed even going so far as instructing part time in an aero club (because you want to, not because you have to )
I hate to give advice like this, but I cannot imagine where this industry will be in 20 years time, having been sad witness to where it has gone this last 20, then again, the Marine industry could well be just as much of an open sore ( would be surprised if it wasn't) so ? well, I would prefer to fly, but don't do it at "any cost".
