I think the problem wasn't that. It was a miscommunication. Just because this is the career builder subforum doesn't mean that anyone who posts here has the final goal of 121.
That's what snippercr meant when he said don't make a blanket statement.
boeingt7 recommended the OP to not become a pilot because of his personal experiences and whatnot which is completely ok and fair. But that is only if the OPs intent was to fly 121 or whatever it is boeingt7 flies.
There's more to aviation than just Airlines, or just Cargo, or just charter, and so on. That's what I think snippercr was trying to get at
