No guarantees in any career, nobody owes you sh#$, get over it. If you don't like it, quit. Life is too short for whining. You would need way more than 1000 TPIC to get hired at a major before the freak accident that was the mid 2000's and that would lead to 5 plus years sitting sideways. It's simple, if you want to make more than sub standard wages, do something else.
