Don't make a rushed decision. Had many friends leave the industry during the 08 meltdown and almost all regretted it 5 years later when they compared where they were to where they'd be if they stuck it out. Sometimes it's really hard to see the other side during times like this. That said, had a few who left and became very successful in other fields and never had an ounce of regret.

Support gigs to stay in the industry if you like. Knock out your dispatcher test and look for openings along those lines. Its a backup I have on deck anyway...good luck.

a cyclical nature and very dependent on the economy itself
seniority based, leave your company and you "start over" at another one
relationships with "management" historically full of friction, at all carriers
physically gone from home some, or all, of the month
divorce and depression rates higher than other jobs

anytime something goes wrong, the first thing that happens is pilots get furloughed.

simpleton analogy.....if my son got accepted into Embry Riddle on a full scholarship, and Harvard medical school on a full scholarship, and he loved flying but also loved medicine/science/etc, I would steer him to Harvard.
you know what a heart surgeon does when he doesn't like the way a certain hospital "treats him" ?
he walks across town, gets a sign-on bonus at Hospital-B, and does not miss a beat.

You're comparing Embry Riddle to Harvard?? That's funny.
Oh yeah, I forgot, Riddle is the Harvard of aviation universities...LAMO
