I met CFIs at FBOs that had been at it for years. This was not in small town america but in the SF bay area. In fact, my CFI when I did my PPL had a little over 1,000 hours after 6 years trying to make it...I should say he didn't play his cards right and refused to move / relocate to an area where he could build more time. He basically gave up on aviation and is now a cop. He dreams of one day making it to the departments helicopter ops division.
As always, R777, says it better than I could. I'm bringing emotion into it...
