Where you might see success I see a potential detour into a self destructive lifestyle.

That's a broad definition that will vary for a lot of people Sky. You simply CANNOT define this for everyone. Your definition of success is NOT the same as everyone else's. You have a grudge against aviation. We all get that. We understand why. But why do you constantly attempt to get people to leave aviation? Do you do the same for other fields? Do you tell the guy behind the coffee shop counter that he is unhappy & needs a new job because he doesn't make enough? Or what about the doctor that works 70 hours a week an rarely sees his/her children? Do you tell them they need to get a different job?
What defines happiness & success in life is different for everyone. That's something you need to understand.
