First year sucks, but after that, the pay gets better. Captains make enough money to support a family. A lot of guys will put down the pay, and I am in complete agreement it needs to be changed, but it isn't THAT bad. A regional captain still makes more than the average American.

It is YOUR choice. Don't let anyone decide for you. There are pros and cons to every career field. Don't fall prey to the idea that seems to float around, that outside of aviation, things are so much better. It isn't. High paying jobs outside of aviation, are just as hard to get as those major jobs as pilots. Everybody wants them, and there are stacks, and stacks of resumes for them. Life is short ...do what you will enjoy doing, and never let anybody discourage you from your dreams!
