I think about how I would advise people considering changing to my line of work. I'd tell them the same kinds of things pilots on these forums are telling the doe-eyed uninitiated that are considering making the change. I TOTALLY get it.
Keep reading you may find you'd be better off keeping flying as a hobby and keeping your day job.
Utter slop.
Defeated before you began, and now you will never know for yourself.
I have a friend who started flying, got a great first job and then quit because his pu$$y hurt a lil' bit.
For 25 years I have listened to his angst about never following through.
This career is EXACTLY what one makes of it and NOTHING else.
There are so many opportunities compared to the last 25 years or so...Never been a better time to give it the Old College try.
