I can't believe pilots want to be paid like engineers, lawyers, and doctors but argue about having education beyond a high school diploma.

Sure, there are exceptions out there in the workforce where a specialized skill commands a high salary, but piloting is a career that employs tens of thousands across the country. Want to get paid like a successful professional? Be educated like one. Want to slack off and be educated like someone who works at Burger King? Plan to be paid like one.


Having a college degree says a lot about the person, their experiences, their commitment, their work ethic, and their ability to achieve. It is a very valuable credential to have.
