yes, I understand that, however not every job is working in a steel mill, or a farm. I have a buddy that works for a marketing firm in Manhattan, makes well over $100,000.00 and also loves his job. If he loses that job he will find another making close to that. Think about what it takes to make six figures in the airline world.
Hard Labor blows, but Airline flying is hard on your personal life, along with a million other negative things, point is we have a huge responsibility up there, a very unstable career ahead of us, I just think the the money needs to start to climb, or many people including myself will say, "the hell with this". I don't know how much I am willing to sacrifice to make it to a major, probably a lot, I am just afraid of the cost.......personal life finances etc.......
