I'm in the same boat as you in my 20's considering a pilot career.
I just don't like the idea of being gone for days straight. And the medical aspect where a minor issue can end your career. And getting the 1500 flight hours required is kinda tedious.
The pay looks sweet. 5 years in you're making six figures.
And it's a stable job and respected career. Getting paid on autopilot and also comes with generous travel discounts.
