Seriously bro ... did you actually know that this was aviation you were getting into ... the most volatile industry in the world, arguably?! There's not a whole lot of pretty things about this place. You do the job because you have a passion and love for flying, and couldn't bare to sit in an Office 9-5 M-F. Yeah, the industry sucks right now, maybe more so than it has in a long time ... but cycles happen, the down periods come and go. I wish you the best of luck with the international aspect of things, and hope things go well for you. As it's been said to me several times before, "the grass always seems greener on the other side".
