"I am here to proclaim that aviation is not a just or worthy place to invest yourself when compared to other professions. "

And here you go again Skyhigh making sweeping NEGATIVE comments. You are not authorized to proclaim the entire aviation industry "not worthy". Your stories might make good reading and resonable food for thought - but that very statement is no better than DE727UPS saying that an aviation career is the best thing in the world - which you would rail against.

Lowtimer - I'll proclaim to you that the aviation is a worthy field and that once you have studied and learned all you can about the aviation industry that you make the best choice you can, work hard, and hope for a pinch of luck somewhere along the way.
