Spoken like somebody with very little real world experience. What’s grueling is spending the next many years after obtaining that degree dodging thunderstorms in a piston twin. Or joining the military and sleeping in tents after a day being shot at. Or cleaning the “honey pot” out of a King Air because somebody honored you with occupying the right seat and letting you make some radio calls.

Your success has as much or more to do with good timing as it does your abilities.
