Of my college friends who were majoring in aviation, the majority didn't pursue the airline jobs for one reason or another. For some it was cost, for others passion, for others job security. We all still get together and hang out every now and again, the the truth, we're all happy. Yeah, as a pilot a complain to my co-workers are about things in the industry, but it isn't bad, just as my friends complain to their co-workers, and everyday we'll all get up, and go to our chosen profession. And if 10 years down the line, we choose that this job isn't right for us anymore, what difference does it make? Time to go do something different, and be "successful". Heck skyhigh, we should all be so lucky right? then we could end up like you.
We can only be so lucky....with our safe schools, and safe vehicles, and let's not forget the safehouses
