Pay should be the last thing that pilots today should be thinking about. Just remember, "HELLO"...... you are getting PAID to fly a plane. The opportunity to fly is reward enough.

Having a family and flying is like a married monk. Doesnt work out so good. I found a way to support my family. I left aviation and it took a lot of personal fortitude to do it.

The proper attitude today is to go into flying with the knowlege that you will be poor, you will be laid off many times, you will live a loner life. And, Hey, if things turn out for the better then good for you.
