HotMamma, I grew up in both those situations that you explain word to word, starting out in the public middle schl side then moving to the suburbs where every single kid I went HS drove a brand new 3 seris or an A4 for as thier 1st car one kid even got a 120k gen 2 Hummer H1 in yellow to drive across the street. guess what I've graduated from college who knows where those kids are now I'm back in the same rich snobby town chewing off my parents trying to figure out my next step in life whilst managing those rich kid's or perphaps wealthy kids' parent's money day in and out. so I have to say it's the parents who set their kids rite from beginning and following thru as they grow. I have done my share of dues in uni, but I have to disagree w/ you on this.

Your pathetic. Listen to yourself. I am not the one being rediculous. If anything I am very rational. I have seen both sides of society too.

They were some of the best men I have known, but I am sure they wouldn't rate in your world. I bet you look down all servicemen , don't you. because they went to publiuc schools and makes 1200.00 a month. Your a sad person, who gives a f u #$ what your avatar pic looks like, you have a poor sense of judgemnet on people. I 'm done with this BS, your not worth the finger movement on my keyboard.

Uh huh...sure . I'm calling BS on this - or even if it's true I'm guessing the guy was "forced out".

I really don't care about the money. A recent survey found that the happiest people in their jobs were in this order: Clergy, Firefighters, and Ticket/Reservation Agents (not making that one up). Nobody in those professions makes a lot of money. Money cannot buy happiness. I know doctors who make $300,000+ a year and are absolutely miserable. I want a career that I can wake up to everyday and look forward to going to work whether I'm an airline pilot, doctor, garbage man, etc. Life is too short to be miserable in a job everyday. For me, a career as an airline pilot one job that may fit into that category for me. I can't see myself sitting behind a desk all day reading reports, responding to emails, doing spread sheets, etc.. How boring does that sound? I see that all in the airline industry is not fun and games as most people believe. I'm not blinded by the aura of being an airline pilot as not to see the negatives the job entails. All jobs do have their negatives. I guess the bottom line is...Did you/Do you, even though you were/are making crumbs at a regional, still looked/look forward to flying every day? I appreciate all the responses. Everyone has been very helpful.

And about the public/private school thing...I went to a very prestigious private school in my area. The education I got was second to none. I mean my high school classes were harder than some of my college classes. As far as the drugs, alcohol, tobacco use, and sex go, my school was just as bad, if not worse, than the public schools just down the road. Private may mean your child getting a better education, but it means nothing in regards to discipline, etc..
