I have the degree. The CFI. And I just got an interview!!!

And the state of this industry turns my stomach.

I can't believe I'm thinking about taking a job that pays nothing. AND YES I MEAN NOTHING compared to what has been put in. Then when you start looking at what it is going to COST ME to be an FO (crash pad, parking, food and oh yeah, time away from home) and the picture gets worse.

Something starts to feel very wrong here...I can't believe I've come this far in pursuit of a career that seems to offer so little in the way of security, especially for my family.

Maybe I've been reading too many of Skyhigh's post...but maybe he's right.
