Making it to a good stable career that pays a wage that is worth all the hardship? You have to hit 65 and be able to look back before you really know that.

Famous Last Words in Aviation: "I have finally made it".

Eastern Airlines, Independence air, Comair, TWA, Reno Air, National Airlines ...ect.. You never really know what tomorrow will being in aviation. Most likely however it will not be good news.

To me making it means having considerable control over your life and earning enough to be able to support your family in a manner that they are well cared for.
