At least for me it has been. I love flying more than anything but I can't believe all the highs and lows I've been through to get my ratings, maintain steady work as a CFI below the poverty line (gave up on that!), and now to keep my sanity as a banner pilot living in a travel trailer with 2 other pilots. Now the icing on the cake is that I freakin pinched a nerve in my back or neck or something handing proping my plane the other day and my entire right arm is numb so now I have to run around (instead of flying) to figure out how to fix it. Oh, and my wife called last night and told me that she lost her job back in North Carolina and needs me to send more money. Does anyone have any interesting stories of their rough times they dealt with to get where they are today? The doctor I was with today regarding my numb arm had some interesting stories of near starvation and tough conditions he faced to get through med school. I figure most pilots have had it rough so let's here it. It will only help.
