I think the guy said that all the "people or schools" were telling him that there wasn't money in it. He just wanted to hear it from the horses mouth. Whats the big deal? Like others have said he will learn. BTW from what I have gathered you can make (at a decent regional and with upgrades as they are "today") 27k year 1, 34k year two, 36 - 45k depending if you upgrade year 3 and on up. So yea, its not UPS money but most people can make it work. Like anything else you have to pay your dues. To the guy who posted question. You will find a bunch of people who need to vent and rant on about how they feel things should be. Alot of the time they are right but you need to take it with a grain of salt sometimes. Hell, you might be that guy in a few years. Just don't let negativaty and nay sayers run your life. FWIW. This profession is a hard row to hoe but there are alot worse jobs. One of my AE 8 yr FO friends still says "it beats working for a living" Now ofcourse hes joking but if you have worked in construction or other laborous work it almost is true. We get to fly planes for a living. Most people only dream about such things. Its all about perspective.
