When a doctor embarks on their career it is similar to investing in the stock market. It will go up and down over the decades but in the end their sacrifice will have paid for itself many times over and their value will have diversified into a stable portfolio.

A pilots career is closer to sitting down at the blackjack table with 150K and 40 years of your life in chips. As the years are dealt out it at times you will be up and at others you will be down. It is possible to win big but most likely by the end of the night you will leave with nothing. The house usually wins in the end.
