People really could use a reality check before leaping into an aviation career. No one is out there offering the opposing view. Most rational people do not want a career of poverty, abuse and a never ending string of furloughs.
At least actors and singers can audition without the huge investment in cash and wasted years. All they have to loose is an afternoon of waiting in line.

Sky it was an illustration, not a one for one comparison. I was merely trying to point out that your arguments about the industry are getting tired and that many other industry's are a struggle for little reward. The whole "now we are comparing being a pilot to xxx" is a nice safe way to downplay the thought.
