Same thing with being a SIA pilot, I believe the trainee allowance is only like $2.2-$2.4k per month (last I checked a couple years ago), and you have to go through the training for 6-8 (somebody can confirm?) years with this shi**y pay, until you graduate as a co-pilot. Only then do you start to draw a decent salary that makes life a lot "easier".

Some people can't live with this small amount of salary for so many years, while others look forward to the pride in graduating as a pilot years later.

They are just being foolish.

A lot of these impatient kids belong to peasant families that have to feed their farmer parents.

Some good career path in life require an investment of time and effort.
