[quote=Rascal;361234]It shouldn't be...Name another profession where you invest so much money to get a "blue collar job"?
I can think of teachers, Military offericers, and most entry level engineering jobs. While its true that these jobs have potential for high levels of pay so does airline pilots. Not every pilot makes it to a six digit salary, nor does most of the other professions.,
I quess what I'm trying to say is that you have to pay your dues, and in most professions its 10 or more years not 1 or 2 as most of you seem to think. Just jumping to another profession doesent mean instant sucess.
