Your glass is unbelievably half empty.
I don't think anyone who sets off down this path looks at it and thinks "this is an easy ride to a big salary"?
The costs alone put off the average individual, not to mention the intense study. Do you really think someone who didn't really enjoy it would even attempt a CPL/IR.
Often people struggle with examinations, the basic skills are developed in PPL stage very early. Anything that makes the art of flight easier allowing the candidate to concentrate on procedural flying surely is a good thing?
Personally it took me 4 attempts to pass my Driving test. Yet 5 years later I was achieving success driving race cars.
Forever fight for your dream, ignore the naysayers and the jaded old pilots, if you have the capacity to achieve, and the determination, you will.
