I never expected to get rich from flying, I do it because there isn't another career I'd rather do. There's other professions that will get a ton of nice toys and homes, but I don't know if I'd enjoy doing them.

All I really care about when it comes to a career is how much money I can make. I don't care about anything else. Sometimes I feel like a loser for choosing to be an airline pilot early on in my life. At least we earn decent wages that we can invest and turn into income producing assets.
