I like my job because it's easy going, requires little physical activity, flexible on schedules, and obviously the travel benefits. Overall it's a super easy job once your butt hits the seat. I like how it does manage to test your skills from time to time keeping you sharp. You have the option to make it as easy or difficult as you'd like.

What I don't like is the beginning FO pay and not being based at home. However the later is my own choice. Overall life has been great and I have no reason to wish I did something else. I might start a business or two and possible give up commercial aviation one day. However I'll never quit flying. It's been too much of a blast.

The grass is always greener on the other side though. When I worked on the ranch I wanted to fly and now that I spend my time flying I wish I was able to work on the ranch more and spend more time hunting and fishing.
