In the real world you're going to work longer hours with constant stress and pressure...at all times, not just when you're on the clock. Essentially you're always on the clock, and good luck trying to take vacation. The only upside is that when you do eventually get fired you might be able to get another job in the same pay range without starting all over in the mail room.
Aviation's not all bad...
I worked for a living before I got paid to fly so I'm well aware of what that's like and I never said aviation was all bad. Sometimes you just end up in a situation that teaches you a lesson and the lesson I've learned over the past year and a half is that this career isn't necessarily worth the price I've had to pay to keep it.
