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.

Plenty of those AA baseball players, who are living as terrible (or worse) of lives than the lower tier pilots, dream of hitting the big time just as much as some starry eyed, SJS kid, who wants to be a 777 captain someday.
I see the mailman has become you favorite go-to occupation again
Nop doubt either dream of it Skyhigh - who ever said they didn't?
Fact is that both dream of greater goals.
You think that being a pilot is the worse career in the world.
I, and many others, think there are plenty to go around.
