I make 14K a year (aft taxes). $20 an hour. avg below 70hrs per month (my OT is usually taken away before I get to fly it). min pay is 70 per month. I do not eat more than 4 meals per 3 day period. I do not complain. I suck it up. Work my butt off. Waiting for flight time to build.

Only ONE instructor during my 4 yr degree told me it would be this way...every other instructor talked about the end of the career not the following: painful QOL/hunger/barely paying loans back (haven't missed a payment yet YAY)/bed on airport floor life style/jumpseat on late flights hoping to sit in 1stclass for a free meal/live out of a suitcase lifestyle
