Any challenging STEM job that pays well, has good culture and helps me build some career capital for future advancement. Unfortunately, I'd have to have those skills in order to get hired (and be younger), which I don't. Gosh to be 25 again. Would never have gotten into this mind numbing jobs.
I’m a stem’er. Thankful every day I sip coffee watching the beautiful world going by and being highly compensated for it.

Ditto. Next to bartending, this has been the best job I've had for "leaving it at the door".

Unless you're a world-class genius, airline aviation feels to me like a pinnacle for STEM types, most of my 9-5 STEM peers would trade me if they could. Astronaut would be better, but that's a lot of work too.
My tech field has been in the news lately... some experienced high-end specialists, cream-of-the-crop types, are in such demand right now that they are being offered $300K. And it's big news. Trust me, that $300K comes much easier in aviation. Not easy per se, but easier.

300K is only made by the same old out of touch guys squatting on the 20,000 jobs at the legacies that pay that. Nobody else in aviation makes that. This is evidenced by your post.

Going to have to disagree with you on both points. Most STEM types wold be bored as hell driving the same airplane to the same places over and over again. It's not nearly as technical as most new tech jobs today.
