SkyHIgh puts a very negative aura around aviation. He is discouraging people from pursuing their dreams. Medicine sucks too. Work 80 hours a week, on call 6 days a week. Physicians dont make what they used to make. Patients bitching etc. HMO's telling us how to do our jobs; we cant even prescribe medications with out getting calls that the insurance wont cover in, prior auths etc. There are doctors who tell people dont go into medicine it sucks. Every field has the people who love it and those who dont. listen to people and what they say because it is their own personal experience and opinion. I have 30 friends who fly for XJT and love it. Its all relative wheter it is good or not.

MY opinion - stay away from medicine it sucks. Its more of a sweat shop that aviation. A cardiologist I know was just complaining the other day that he hate it, working 100hrs a week always on call. He averages 20 dollars on hour when you figure it out!!
