This is a 30+ year career, and you have to earn your stripes, literally!

For perspective: Doctors come out of 8 years of College/MedicalSchool to spend 5 years in Internship/Residence making $45-60/year working 80 hour weeks before anyone will take them seriously and they earn the next step in pay. (their student loans are much worse than yours!)
Doctors only do the residency once and yet pilots have to do it every time they change their employers and start at bottom again. Imagine telling a Cardiovascular surgeon that his hospital is closing and he needs to start over at 20k per year as nurse.
