Take the 50k job. As you work-budget for flight time and additional ratings.
Get a CFI- teach part time. All the time you'll have steady income while staying in aviation. If the industry changes- get back into it.
For now you'd be better off the a stable job and family life. Always remember-whats important. This industry is in the crapper right now. If you do decide to stick it out- its a gamble.
