Exactly. Even surgeons are "one step at a time" in learning and doing. There aren't many jobs out there where highly educated highly paid professionals are living minute by minute just winging it, not knowing if they are going to do it right, one slight step away from disaster, for 30-40 years. That's just rediculous. In that regard, all jobs are easy, once you actually get there.
People like to fly though. Its a dream that has inspired mankind from the beginning. I don't fault anyone for indulging in that dream, and I'm not too worried about potentially out of context attitudes like we can see from the bubbly university kids. The first time scheduling hoses them they'll get over it.
