We all love to fly and that's great but unless you land a
very special flying position, it's not worth the hastle. Fly for fun and make some money doing something else you are passionate about.
G'Luck Mate....and yes this is posted as a serious, constructive comment.
The legal profession is in the dumps right now too though. The only thing that they have that we don't is that the majority of the country's legislators came from a legal background and not an aviation background so they can continue to create their own work as needed.
