You mind say what he does? I don’t think flying is going to be an option for my kids to have full careers (they are in elementary school) do to technology progression. 60 years from now is a long time to not have something major happen an displace thousands out of the cockpit.
I’m always interested to learn about careers where they could earn a good living and provide for a family, their own children’s education, and fund a nice retirement.

Now if only there was a girlfriend involved, he'd spend some of that money....

Sure, he's a senior software engineer, which one can be classified as after 2-3 years of experience. He's not an outlier, either, there are many young people making as much or more. If one has an ability and interest in it, there are many companies paying high salaries. You don't have to be exceptional, but you do have to be into it.

I feel like I may not be forward thinking enough but it seems like the great paying careers seem to be disappearing.

Hal
9th year 717 CA
Flew maybe 600 blocked about a thousand
267k including 34 retro pay and 12k profit sharing
15% 401 on top of the above number
5 nights away for sim
My guess is a 330 captain would be maybe 150k more

It's not easy to get the great paying software engineering jobs, though there are plenty of them. You're winning the lottery....until the economy goes down the tube. Plenty of demand for highly experienced engineers, but it's tough to get a good job as an unexperienced one. The market is overloaded with those kids.
On another note, honestly, I'm surprised at how much money people are making at the airlines with profit sharing. I had no idea and it sounds like that's the norm for most companies. I wish FedEx pilots had profit sharing, I really feel like we're being left behind on that.

That 142.9K does not include 401K DC.
That was on the old 3rd year rate. Even though we aren't satisfied with the arbitration decision, with our new pay scales you'll see people making that or more by year 2.
