She'll probably never make 70k a year. If anyone deserves it, teachers do. Flying, in most cases is a purely selfish endeavor, we do it because WE want to, not to improve the lives of others. If you really think you are entitled to a 70% ROI in the first year of your career you have a lot to learn. Drop the entitlement mentality and get over yourself.
