Unless you're a world-class genius, airline aviation feels to me like a pinnacle for STEM types, most of my 9-5 STEM peers would trade me if they could. Astronaut would be better, but that's a lot of work too.
My tech field has been in the news lately... some experienced high-end specialists, cream-of-the-crop types, are in such demand right now that they are being offered $300K. And it's big news. Trust me, that $300K comes much easier in aviation. Not easy per se, but easier.
