wise words,the key thing is to love even the dues paying part, i was hired into the DC3 with 520tt,11 multi,8 tailwheel,and stayed in that ship the next ten years because I loved that round engined,tailwheel style of aviating.It is all good, sunrises viewed from a C152,a 727,and the Excel,are all beautiful. hang in there,do not give up on your dream,that is a guaranteed way to become bitter. becoming a lawyer wont solve your problem.stay the course,and if possible fly 135 freight,you will learn lessons there that will be invaluable,and will hold you in good stead further down the pike.
