What I am saying is that people will give up most anything for aviation. Give up your friends and family for job. I get it. Hell I did it and it stank. The reference to Texas was that it is far from my home. Move a Texan up here and you would get the same reaction.
The point: Flight instructing jobs are drying up nationwide unless you are willing to move and work for a factory school. The mom and pop home town flight school is not going to cut it much longer.

Every job has drawbacks. Garbageman: no special training, decent pay, work in your hometown, but come home stinking. Doctor: great pay, Tons of training, and very little social life. Pro football player: workout all the time, study playbooks the size of encyclopedias, make lots of money, gone every other weekend during the season, and be washed up at 40.
On a side note about Texas. We got this big yeller thing up yonder in the sky. We'uns call it "The Sun." Its warm, makes the plants grow, and shorely beats continuous drizzle.

I went through hell for 20 years as a pilot. Most of my friends and peers were (and are still) put through the meat grinder of aviation to little personal benefit. Your advice is to lay down and take it?
I prefer to invest myself in places where my efforts have a better chance of producing a return. I am irrational that way.

The cheating to get ahead attitude is prevalent with high school students today (based on think tank surveys). In fact I believe that stat shows 60% will lie, cheat, steal to advance.
The question is, when some of those individuals get into high risk industries (aviation, medical, nuclear, refinery) how will that attitude influence adherence to SOPs, regulations, etc. Aviation safety advocate Tony Kern discussed this a few months ago at a presentation at the NTSB academy in VA, as well as adresses it in his book Blue Threat. Tony believes we're going to start seeing a rapid spike in accidents across the board.

We see pilots on these boards who got through high school and college without knowing the difference, without learning. How can one graduate 8th grade, much less high school or college in such a state of ignorance?
Or does it just not matter as long as wants are satisfied?
Whether by hook or by crook, these people have a sheepskin that says they are educated.
What else have they failed to learn? Basic aerodynamics?

Perhaps this was an early data point in the rapid spike?
