My definition of a Sincere Effort would be to strip yourself of all hang ups like friends, family, home and needs of financial security. Streamline your life to the point of the lowest drag possible and persistently push through the loneliness and poverty till that magical day comes in your early 40's when you get hired by a major airline. Then you can relax start making more than just the minimum payment on your 20 year old student loan and step up to two bedroom apartment luxury, no more smelly room mates except for perhaps a gold fish. And, a living room full of recently assembled Ikea furniture.

Keep trying kids and someday you will make it too !!
