I tried. I made more money, but other than that it sucked. I actually had to work, for one, and had to learn to adjust to having bosses breathing down my neck all the time. On top of that, a 40 hour work week was rare. I just am not cut for the rat race/daily commute crap. I saw my family more at the regionals for crying out loud. The grass is not always greener. I went back to flying, and I'm glad I did.
