My brother is a construction manager of a large job and tells me that they have a union worker on site who's job is to sweep all day and appears drunk most of the time. He earns 55K. If you count all the years of education, training and low wage experience building it would take most pilots 15 years to reach that much income.

True. But is a drunk sweeper really worth 55k? Just from hearing he just sweeps and 'appears' drunk makes me think he isn't
. But again to each their own. People probably should not get into this industry and expect to get rich, and I hope they don't.
