Then dont CFI then! Who is forcing you?
To some it’s not about money, it’s more like a hobby and mental health mitigation strategy.
Some pilots just like aviation. Or keep developing in other areas. Others wish they could but are too busy with family etc.
Just flew with a kid who is a part owner of a glider school. He flies gliders a lot for fun, tows every once in a while and flies for mama D max 70/month.
Very happy person.
oh, also he feels wearing a hat is not such a big deal!
