now, stop trying to degrade a professional aviation career just because you couldn't hack it and gave up. it is still a viable and rewarding career path as any other profession. yes, times are tough. but many of us decided to stick it out and follow through. don't try to bring everyone down just because you didn't cut the mustard.
I spent nearly 20 years total in the attempt. It was a lot of mustard. Many of my friends are still out there awaiting their third lay off. At some point it becomes stupid to continue. By 36 years of age I was laid off just after 9-11 and had eaten enough mustard. By then it was time to taste a better life.
The fact is that there just isn't enough room for everyone and most of it is totally out of your hands.
