Young people today have all the adventure they need in their hip pocket with candy crush. So you have to pay them to get them to put up with the hassles of real jobs.
Well as a millennial, on the front end of the generation, I quit flying because I found it ridiculous I could make more money driving a tractor baling hay than flying. Albeit it required me to on average log 23 days in a row during first cutting in June where I worked 17 hour days but I was making an astonishing greater amount of money.
So, please tell me more about how I wouldn't fly because I wouldn't "put-up with the hassels of a real job."
