Life is to short to waste it doing something you dislike just for the money. So in the meantime I am aquiring ratings completing my degree so I can change careers!
I totally agree with you, you have to do what you want to with your life and I want to fly for living as many other guys in this forum. The low wages are all about to change guys pretty soon. The demand just keep growing and the supply can not keep up with it.

I have a college degree and I make about 14 dollars an hour flight instructing and it is not paying my rent sometimes, but I love flying. And I can not considering doing something else.

good luck to all you
