In many respects, yes.

Please note that I didn't put a negative connotation on that.

Some people like just being bus drivers. Others drive a bus to pay the bills and then find something else to do to fill their excitement or achievement squares.

Some people enjoy the lack of living in a meritocracy...no pressure, no competition, etc. Some people, on the other hand, miss that part of the military.

As for what one can do besides fly for a major...why anything one puts his mind to.

That's really the entire point.
