I make a point to do that every flight. I love flying. However, the question was why anyone would leave a six-figure career to start at a regional. Wasn't that the OP's plan?
A PPL or Guard job gets you more than a few minutes of looking outside at the sunrise/sunset, with a lot less risk than leaving a six-figure career for a regional.
"Follow your heart," is widely acknowledged as the worst career advice ever.
