That's an ignorant comment. Just because we don't save lives or teach 180 days (yes, only 180 days) each year, we don't have anything to offer society? Why don't you try and imagine what the world would be like without pilots or aviation. Whether your pessimism realizes it or not, we have an incredibly important role in making this country function and prosper. Comparing teachers, nurses, and pilots is like comparing apples and oranges.
