Default Why be a pilot when you can be an FA?

Just came across this blurb on AOL about cushy jobs. Here's what they said:

Work Less, Make More Money?
The average employee works 40 hours per week, 2,080 per year, and earns $9.69 per hour ($26,036 annually)*. There are other options, however. Flight attendants, for example, work an average of 996 hours each year and earn $33,957. That's 1,084 extra hours to spend freely!

I know I've read comments by alot of you about how many hours you have to work as a Pilot. Obviously, the FAs aren't on duty nearly as many hours as you are, so why not switch careers? You still get to ride around in the airplane.
