No job is pefect, and every job includes some aspects they didn't tell you about in school. I find with the guys I fly with, the more life experience they have outside of aviation, the more they appreciate flying. The ones who were supported my Mommy and Daddy in college and regional flying is literally their first and only real job are the one's disgruntled and dissatisfied. But that kind of unrealistic expectation and entitlement starts long before flight school.

Do you really think that Truck Drivers can make $94,000 a year AND be home every weekend? I mean it's written on the back of the truck so it MUST be true!
