Like all high demand things, it's likely that few who want will ultimately succeed.
How old are you? Can you pass a 1st Class FAA medical ? Without the medical, you can't make it to first base.

I know that you are aware that there are many, many, many actors (actresses), ball players, and lawyers to be sure that are NOT making big bucks. When you say that they all pay good then you are targeting the upper echelon of those jobs, and the same for pilots can be said if comparing the top tiers of each.
