I can understand how you feel because I went through the waiting and now I am watching my fiancee "wait". For me, it has been worth it so far. I finally got to where I am going to stay at and I finally feel like I can enjoy my life without waiting for the next thing (of course I don't take things for granted, I know I can lose my job). I never really thought about being a pilot the way you do. What I mean by that is that your life is out of your control. I'll probably have a few panic attacks in the next few weeks pondering that one (I'm not being sarcastic either). Good luck in whatever you end up doing. It's not worth going through life not completely happy.
