Aviation is not a real profession anymore. The costs of education, training and personal sacrifice of a flying career are far out of balance with the prospects of its compensation. Even a Harvard graduate can tell you that.

I was lucky to not have to pay for college (full ride tennis scholarship). So I am lucky and I have no educational debt.
A profession is an occupation that requires extensive training and the study and mastery of specialized knowledge, and usually has a professional association, ethical code and process of certification or licensing (this is the definition). How can you actually say that aviation (career pilot) is not a profession?
