So you're a golf professional? Do you work for a company? Does that company undercut other golf companies by paying you a fraction of the golf industry salary? Does your company make you go golf instruct 4 straight days, for 13+hrs at a time, in 4 different states and cities, while providing you 8-10hrs of rest in between golf instructing lessons? Does your employer make you sit in the golf lounge for 3 1/2 hrs in between lessons, not getting paid, with no comfortable place to kick back and relax? Does your employer only give you two days off in between work weeks and make you commute on those days off because they don't pay you enough to relocate to the companies "base", which btw is closing next month?

Are other golf instructors paying for golf instructor school, and then 6 months of unpaid golf instructor time, just so they can take your job at less pay?

Get the point? Talk about golf all day long....but the hell with flying for a living. If I could make enough money doing something else, I'd be putting my CFI certificate to use, buy an airplane and actually ENJOY the flying.
