Life is about choices. If you are based in PHL but live in LAX, you're gonna have a bad time. If you are an FO and have 7 kids, you're gonna have a bad time. The good news is there are plenty of jobs that have good pay and a decent quality of life but "they're not the quickest path to the majors". Personally, I'd rather make a livable wage and enjoy my life than suffer at a regional until a major calls. You never know when they will call, and they may never call. Others will choose to stay at a regional until they get picked up.

I guess what I'm trying to say is...the regionals sucking is not secret information. You knew what you were getting into and if you didn't then your Google abilities are weak.
