But in the short 4 years I've been in the airlines I've run into a ton of people that love it, are so-so with it, hate it, and others who still dream of leaving their current job and doing it. I've seen guys making tons as lawyers and wall street traders leave it all for flying. They all loved it and never looked back.

This job has sacrafices, but also rewards. One thing that's so important to remember, the grass is always greener on the other side. If you want to do it, then DO IT. You will never know where this ride will take you until you get off. But hey man, isn't that life?
