It is true that there are plenty of marginally employed people as actors and lawyers however when they do make it big it is usually to a life of significant income and control.
As pilots we sacrifice and struggle for years in hopes of one day besting the return that a mailman gets. I doubt that most minor league baseball players dreamed of 18K per year and a life of crummy hotels. Neither do most pilots.
