Nonsense! After two decades in aviation and finally landing the coveted RJ FO position with a highly regarded airline, I found that there was very little reason to want to bear the hardships and I quit. Yes, it did take a little time to find other employment, but I landed a good job with a major public utility. Turns out that most pilots feel that they are not qualified to work in other fields, or are afraid to take the plunge into the unknown. Take it from me, that degree you earned will open doors in other industries. I still get to fly. I just choose when and where. Keep your chins up folks. If more people start to realize their real value, maybe the suits will have to too.
