You could live like a king in DSM on 100K. Don't blame the person who is content with that for being.....content with that.

Teachers rawk. They don't get into it for the money, they get into it cause they think they will love it, make an impact, like working with kids. Pilots shouldn't get into this biz for the money, either. I mean, if you don't love aviation, you don't have any business being a pilot in the first place.

If a guy thought "airline pilots make 200K" cause he picked up a Flying magazine once that said so and decided to go for it, then went to Gulfstream, went to PCL, and is now upset that he's not making 200K after four years, should he be upset? I'd say no because he got into the biz for the wrong reasons and didn't do his research.

One other thing. You can't get banned here for calling someone a "dummy".
