Holy hell, that has to be the most negative post I've ever read. I hope you missed the sarcasm tag because that's quite the assumption. If you really feel this way, I'm not sure why you're a student pilot starting your career. You'll be a miserable person.

To the OP:
Check the main articles in the main site: jetcareers.com
There are a lot of useful articles by professional pilots. It's a good start.
