You CAN make good money. The operative word is "can". As in, for a little while. Occasionally. If you suffer eating Ramen and Spam for several years whilst living out of schithole layovers for several years that you split 1/7 with six other guys and which never get cleaned... ever.

The one truth I learned about the aviation industry is that the folks in it are absolute EXPERTS in the Art of Carrot Dangling... as in, "think of all the valuable experience you're getting so you'll be qualified to sit in the left seat of that nice shiny jet before too long flying 15 days a month off to exotic foreign locales for a six-figure paycheck..."

But that day all-too-often either never comes or comes for a few months/short years and then goes "poof". It's a very cyclical industry.

Still, it has its perks (think extended periods of time in close quarters with hottie ladies who are just as lonely and nuts as you are...)
