This right here.
I'm leaving the 135 world after over a decade and jumping to 121. Over the course of a career, the money to be made and the time off you'll have working for an airline vs. a charter/EMS operator doesn't even compare. Sure commuting sucks and the 1st year pay is a hit to the crotch, but you gotta look at it as "short term pain for long term gain."
Work to live, don't live to work.
