Default Pretty good summary

I found an article online that seems to be a pretty realistic summary of what its like to be a career pilot:

Best Careers 2011: Commercial Pilot - US News and World Report

It's listed as one of the fifty best careers for 2011, but that is because it is expected to grow by 19% through 2018. It did mention that civilian pilots will work at regionals for low income and long hours in an attempt to reach bigger goals, even though the median salary for all the pilots was $65,000. This is one of the first articles I've found online that doesn't still paint the picture that pilots can expect to earn six figures
