Just to clarify, I don't plan to stop my financial expectations at 50k. Besides the fact that I love flying, I got into the industry due to the nice wages. Unfortunately I didn't know the aspects of the industry before joining into aviation. I don't plan to change my choice, unless forced to (medical, etc).

But you make some valid points. I'm still young, and new to the industry, so I don't really have any experience on just how much making 50k, 100k, 150k is.
