You chose this career so that you could get paid an "allowence" while playing with your hobby for the first couple of years. Never mind that your wife has to work, and the two of you cant afford the best of resturants on the weekends. That is IF she can see you on the weekend. And Christmas, and Thanksgiving and New Years.

Good luck if you have kids.

So you spend a few years jerking gear and you dont bend any metal, so you get to upgrade and make a decent living wage that you could have had 3 years ago in another industry. Get this, Secretarys are pulling 40 K in the Bay area.

Bottom line is that every person on the planet is making more than Regional FO's. Why? Because they are willing to accept substandard wages.
