In fact I am gearing up to leave the office world, 60k/yr, 3 or 4 days off a week, full benefits and 401k/pension to pursue a flying career I started while in college. Office life sux. Unless you are truly self-employed you will always be working for someone else who is making money off of you.
Your boss will always make bad decisions and the pay will always suck.
Its a decision of where you want your office, in a cube with no view and 50 other people or at FL350 and the best view in the world??? I choose the latter.

My time at a regional airline was my cubicle. It is the same type of corporate boredom chamber. Everything is highly scripted. There are forms to fill out and uniforms to be worn. If you don't like conformity and a deeply embedded corporate culture then you will not like the regionals.

Been in the cockpit is no comparison to been in an office. I worked in an office for 15+ years and was miserable every day. Now I have been flying for 7 years and haven’t had a bad day. As far as family goes it depends on how supportive everyone is. Everyone has dreams, it’s what you make of it. I’m looking forward of starting with AWAC.
