"Still, even some pilots who got hired by the airlines before the new rules took effect, regret their choice. One of them is Richard Papp, 26, a third-year pilot at ExpressJet trying to raise his 2-year-old daughter on a $29,000-a-year salary. "This was a lifelong dream," he said. "But if I could do it all over again, I'd do something different."
Nightmares are dreams too... I asked my garbage man how much he makes, about $60,000 his second year.

My garbage man doesn't get out of his air conditioned / heated truck. Just drives around the neighborhood picking up wheelie bins with a mechanical arm. Granted not very glamerous but certainly not as bad as the stigma would suggest.
