This quote pretty well distills the choice you face. Look at your options based on your educational attainment, resume to date, and desired lifestyle. A guy starting training today WILL NOT have the charmed career of someone who started in March 2020. However, they will likely still have a very nice career with a solid chance of a decade or more in the left seat of a widebody aircraft at a legacy carrier or a top tier freight carrier. Life isn’t guaranteed. You make your choices, work hard, and hopefully you live a great life. If someone is beating down your door offering a six figure salary to do something else with half of every month off, go for it!
