Like others have said, do what you think is right for you. I flew for a regional for a few years, then walked away from it. I have an aviation management degree, so I went to work in airport operations and management. HUGE mistake. I made more money, yeah, and it was more stable no doubt, but after a few years of that I went running back to flying for a living. The whole corporate/meetings/kissing the bosses ass thing/office work is not my style. Don't go into flying to get rich. Personally, I think those who place money as the top priority for a job are going to be let down in one way or another. Do what fits your personality, style, and goals. Do what you won't dread waking up to each day. Regional flying can sometimes be a tough job, and the management loves to stick it to us, but nearly everyone I personally know of in any industry goes through the same thing (unless they are the owner/ceo/high management). Good luck in what you decide.
