A far higher percentage of pilots have a second job verses doctors and lawyers. By the way many doctors are on call several days of the week and even have a maximum distance they can live from the hospital. I recently moved from a community full of Doctors. I asked one why so many lived there and he said it was the maximum distance they could live from the city and meet there on call obligations. That was driven home for me when my wife needed a emergency surgery at night. The anesthesiologist and surgeon both were called in at 9 PM on a Saturday night.
