What is it worth to you?
Like DE727UPS says "what is a decent living mean to you"?
How much do you like having control over your life?
Would you mind living away from your friends and family?
Some people are custom made for this profession. Are you willing to give whatever the profession asks? Is it worth it to you?
There are plenty of jobs out there. Some are not doing well while others are the key to the future. Aviation has seen its heyday. What is left are crumbs but to some it is still a prize. Only you can answer that.
There is nothing wrong with keeping flying a hobby and not letting it become a hobby job.
