pro and cons of a Pilot

Every boy wants to be a pilot.

One of the reasons i studied engineering is because I like planes, and i don't have any problems staying 24/7 inside an airport, i really like it. i've stayed in 4 airports overnight and i always like the experience, it'll be even greater if i can fly one of those bad boys.

so can i be physically be a pilot?
I checked out this site thru google (another of my many adventures while trying to do my project)

i'm near-sighted, currently my prescription stands at
Right -3.00 Left -4.25
this forum says its ok as long as it can be corrected (spectacles)

i need to be at least 5ft 4in tall, i'm...let me see...2cm short of 6ft, phew.

i'm an engineering student, so that means i am in the forefront of competition if i apply to be one.

British Airways have a program that i can train and if possible serve with BA in the future, with a contract of 5 years to repay it.

there are other options, like msia airlines that gives the same thing, with 15 years.

should i go for it? i'm stuck, i like to fly one of the planes...really do.

and the all important question...the WAGES~ and the PERKS~

WAGES~~$183,000 per annum (luftansa), or roughly £83,000 as a captain, which is achievable after 2~5 years after graduating from flight school. but normally other smaller airlines seems to offer about $60,000 per annum, still not bad...

PERKS~walk like a VIP anywhere in the airport wearing great uniform that people just admires...and become a guy's guy, guys like pilots! and girls too~especially the hostess :p. i also get to see alot of countries FREE! yahoo!

NOT SO GOOD SIDE~~flying everyday~fly fly fly~~which means a pilot's personal life wil most probably be thrown in tantrums...my poor family and girlfren will miss me alot...unless they fly with me too...sadly pilots have a high rate of divorce...also greenpeace people will give pilots a hard time (if they ever ran into one)...flying a plane...costs (provide may be the better word) the earth the amount of carbon dioxide of a normal urban car for 2 years, warming the globe at a faster pace~

should i shouldn't i...
