"Smoking pot and chasing girls" is what would have been rather doing than flying the bush huh?
And here I am imagining what a time I could have had in my 20s if I had gotten the chance to fly the bush for awhile.

Well if that isn't a case of different priorities for different people

We all have goals and expectations. I was trained to be a flight officer on a transport category jet and not to be a Cessna 207 captain in the bush. After spending a fortune and many long years getting my ratings and college I had hoped for a better future than a cot in someones laundry room.

You are right, for those whose expectations are to make a good living and to be respected for what they have accomplished this profession is not a good place to be. However if you don't care about what you end up doing all day, how much you will earn or where you will end up it is great.
