I don't know....I've got one former college buddy who is an MD, and one who is a practicing attorney- They are both quite happy with life, and money. Oh yeah- and when they switch firms/medical centers, or Practices, they don't start out at half the pay and minimal bennies over and over and over and over.......

So, yes. Everyone should get into flying. You'll find that the hours are long, the starting pay is low, your retirement is most likely to be stolen, and red eyes will make you prematurely old......But look at the bright side, when your employer does tank, or get bought, sold, reorganized or whatever--you get to start all over again.

Did I forget the commuting part?
