This Career
I am not cut out for this career.
I never expected to be poor and depressed at work. I do not like not having any control over my life. It is no fun to be stuck in a position with no way to improve your situation. I need to be respected by my employer. Living in a place of my own choosing is important to me. Having time with my family is important to me. I did not like being in my 30's and unable to save any money. I am not happy about investing years of my life and risk getting thrown out only to start completely over. I don't like having to sell little pieces of my life in order to make more money. I expected to make more as an airline pilot than the guy who picked up my garbage.
Some pilots can not accept the fact that the biggest factor of success in aviation is luck. How then could they feel superior to us if they did? Where could they place their trust if they knew that they could be swept away just as easily?
Some people are cut out for this. I however have a life to live.
