Again, courtesy of our friends at the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
Airline and Commercial Pilots : Occupational Outlook Handbook : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Airline and Commercial Pilots 2010 median pay - $92,060 per year
92>68, but oh yeah - I forgot - these statistics on pilot salaries are hopelessly incorrect. But for sure the lawyer ones are correct.
Thanks for the information. You're missing the main point. A law graduate after 9 months is making 68K.....the median pay, meaning the middle...is 92K for pilots. How long do you think it takes the average pilot to even make it to 92k? The average airline pilot age is 41.2 according to Air Transport Association.
Then again average
starting salary in a private pratice is 108k.
So tell me how you think being a pilot is a better option
