Why complain about it. Anybody that doesn't want to be paid little or nothing to be a divemaster or instructor doesn't have to do it. I haven't seen too many trying to sneak away at night. I think there are a lot of people that would like to be able to just survive doing what they like to do. Most can't.
Unfortunately, I agree. A good comparison I like to offer is a classical (or any) musician trying to make a go of it doing just what they like doing (without a "day" job). Remember people telling you in H.S. that "If you find a job/career you love, you'll never work a day in your life". ?? Well, first of all, I don't believe that's true--you'll work even if you love your job. Second, I wonder how many work at jobs they really like? But those jobs may pay off way better than scuba or music when you get to be my age.
