You only have one life to live, find something your passionate about and go for it.

Seriously though most people don’t love every aspect of their job. Most jobs are just that, something you do for an income. I love flying, I hate the airline politics/management at the regional level. Too much bull****.
Don’t tell me you love
Airport sits
commuting
reserve
delays
rla
sitting for hours on end
Covid-19
managment
Do I stare up at the sky and ponder my existence as a 737 flys overhead, wishing every waking moment I was on the ground I was flying? No, I don’t.

Now you do need to be able to be gone from home. If you (or your SO) can't deal with that, then this isn't for you, unless you find a niche part 91/135 job, or fly for Allegiant.
