It's sad that it's like that in any field... you can name almost any "dream job" of 'ole days and I that is indeed by and large a dead dream to day. In the one that I grew up dreaming of getting into, teaching, things are also looking bad. I'm seeing so many good people give up, just crushed by the blood-sucking system that it is. I myself am on the verge of getting out... and it's really disheartening.
As someone who still has aviation fantasies, that is also rather disheartening. I guess someday the best I can hope for myself is being a weekend warrior like that, but it's a shame to see someone put in so much work and real talent, and walk away with nothing.
