You might consider this quote from a naval fighter pilot:

Of his career as a Navy aviator, Webb told him: "Mike, I love this
so much I can't believe they're paying me to do it. I'd do it for
free."


And that makes your nebulous case, how?

They certainly wouldn't do it if they didn't love it, considering
all the downsides of the life. You only get fighter pilots so
cheaply for that reason.

Sorry if you hate your life.
