I happen to be one of those guys that did sling boxes and also logged 1000 a year in all kinds of $hit weather for 25 grand a year. I will guarantee you that my path to this airline wasn't easy. I'll also guarantee you that my commitment helped me to earn it.
If dedicating yourself to working two jobs because your dream has always been flying at FedEx is called irresponsible then something tells me you won't be on the interview board anytime soon.
Alright - now that is a crazy statement.
I'm sure the interview board would mighty impressed when you tell how you worked a 6 hour shift doing whatever - even throwing boxes for them - and THEN went out and flew a plane load of people around ALL DAY after a 5 hour period of rest.
I know that if I were on your hiring board I'd want to know if you planned to blow off your crew rest requirements and planned to fly fatigued on a regular basis.
