then shut the hell up because you havent got a clue what its like to make crap money, be abused by scheduling, never see your family or friends, and watch the dream you struggled for crash and burn in your face.

I'm having a beer as I type this. It's Warsteiner Premium Dunkel in honor of the Oktoberfest that I'm missing in my home country. I wish I had a regional job again, good luck in your future endeavors. Maybe my problem is that I'm too much of an optimist?

Its all about where you work, what kind of contract you have, and a little luck. Yes you have to be pretty senior for this to be your story, but hey, it was worth the wait for me. I should go to a major, I'm young enough, but man this makes it tough. This is why its so sad to see Sh*tty companies getting larger because people are willing to go there and make less because "hey, its just a regional. You have to get in, get your time, and get out". Enjoy the race to the bottom newbies! I'm sure this career is going to be excellent in 10 years by the time you get your "dream job".
