On the other hand, I don’t see how that makes it ok to think everyone else should endure the same. We should all be hoping this works out and doing the best we can to help our peers.

I'm not wishing anything bad on them but I've talked to several that really do think it's sunshine and rainbows and only goes up with little financial planning for things like this. The expense to train for this plus sacrifices are difficult enough, especially when wages at one point were less than $22,000 a year at the entry level in the not so distant past. This certainly isn't for the faint of heart. I'm not rooting for people to exit the industry but it's usually inevitable as one has to put food on the table and take care of their family. No doubt, some will exit and return and some will find they prefer a little more stability even if it means less earnings. Every profession will have bumps but the bumps in this industry are more like cliffs at times.
