The problem with this career is that we all decide to get in as poor young single people and usually end up as poor pilots with a wife and children. If people could look past short term desires and make a career decision that is in the best interest of the future then perhaps we would have fewer miserable pilots and more happy single loners who can't wait to get out of their lonely studio apartment and get a trip.
