Hopefully, you'll recognize that this familiar comment is the reason why people, like you, will work for sub $20k/year salaries to fly around up to 88 people around, 5 or 6 times per day.

People don't enter the profession because there is a need for pilots (hence, the price would be way up). They enter because they "love" it.

Any reason why you wouldn't want to fly for fun?

Good luck.
