The question is, other than a traveling nurse or a cop, what could I do other than fly if the day came when I was booted out the bottom, or I decided I no longer wanted to fly? How did you get into that career, what is the QOL like and what does it pay?
Pilots are kind of in a difficult spot. Their training and education is mostly useless to the outside world. It is a big reason why guys get stuck. Most of the time if you are looking for one of the better jobs it means more college or training in another field.
Jobs that can be gotten with little other education:
Cop
firefighter
school teacher (some states)
Outside of that you need to start over at school or have the cash to start or buy a business. If you really are intent upon getting out the sooner the better. It can take years to get momentum going into a new direction.
