If my passion is becoming a professional pilot, would it still be fun. It seems like crappy pay/compensation is what takes the fun away for most of you, and I bet it would for me as well if I didn't have that second source of income. (I'm single at the moment.)

The other problem I foresee would be the "pilot" lifestyle, but I think it's more of an individual problem that tends to depend on the person.

I guess what I'm asking is: Does flying "professionally" get old?
