See. Thats your problem. You don't see this job as one of passion. I grew up wanting nothing more than to do what I'm doing today. Sure I can't go buy a new Cadillac with my first paycheck. But I can enjoy more time at home with my family and friends more with this job than any as compared to my friends who pursued other endevours. We need help in restoring what it was we all signed up for in the first place.
I love nothing more than the exhilaration of landing a large craft with hundreds of people hoping I know what I'm doing behind me.
I still love this job. My younger brother was bitten by a similar bug and I have done everything to reassure him that this is the place to be.
I love my job. And those same friends are envious of my determination to get there and only applaud what it was that I've achieved. They say, especially drunkenly, that they are so jealous of my situation. Not that they have a clue about what were going through. But rather that since they've known me, this is all I've ever wanted.
So yes. My wife and I are trying to make a baby. If that little runt gets stung by the same aviation bug that my brother and I got hit with, I will be the first to encourage that.
I love my job and no matter what it takes, there is nothing better.
Sure would be nice to buy a new Cadillac though!

Complacency is the biggest enemy and students had a built in program that usually ensured complacency didn't get to come along.
