If you fly for the money you will probably never be rich in Sky's mind. If you fly only as a way to make a living you will not survive this industry. Everyone is different and everyone deals with it in different ways. If you choose to leave the profession you will find your way, most everyone does. Sky makes SOME valid points, others I disagree with and they are not worth discussing with him because he is dead set on his ideas and that is okay, just realize what he says is his opinion and HIS experience. YMMV. Oh.. and sky... those postal jobs you always talk about... USPS has cut 105,000 workers in the past 2 years.... oh and did you see.. they have announced 7500 more yesterday. No industry is safe, no company is safe. There ARE opportunities outside of aviation... there ARE opportunities inside aviation as well.
