You should just stick with it, Saab. All industries suck at the lower level. You have more dues paying to do before you get to the better money and choice workload. If you are 35 and are still truly unhappy, maybe then you are in the wrong field. Get good at living small in the meantime and be grateful to be flying for one of the better airlines and to be healthy and well-employed. Look for happiness in things other than money. The best things in life are free, and in due course of time you will have both.
