[quote=SkyHigh;443692]I believe when compared to other professions the amount of risk, investment and sacrifise is not in congress with the return that is currently being offered under the average situation given the average pilot.

The guy who is looking for a stable profession, and not interested in a vision quest, aviation is a poor choice. The cost of education and training is prohibitive. The odds of making it to someplace good are exceedingly long. The future of the industry is not all that bright.

It is a sweepingly negative comment but I think it is valid. Every town needs a cop. Most every plumber will get a job. Other professions have their obstacles and setbacks but noting like aviation.

Then accept the unrealistic sweepingly POSITIVE comments that are made by others who HAVE succeeded in this industry that you don't feel is worth it. My beef with your statement isn't that you point out the negatives and the pitfalls of this profession; but rather that you make sweeping and generalistic negative comments (like this whole indutry and profession "not worthy") yet attack anyone who happens to have succeeded and give a positive view of the past, present, and future.
