USMCFLYER is 100% correct ( and thats hard for me to admit....
), it is not about what you fly.
QOL is everything. The two best jobs, (and incidentally the best paying) I have had in aviation were flying a piston twin and a medium sized turboprop as a contract pilot in the 135 world. If you can realize like I finally did (five years too late) that flying a jet isnt necessary to the goal, you can and likely will have a very rewarding career. Good luck and always remember 98% of this aviation thing, is pure luck, timing and contacts.
