lol, it's funny. My mom makes around 70k/yr, dad makes 80k/yr they have a nice house, two new cars, no credit card debt, or outstanding loans (minus the mortgage) and managed to put me through college minus the last 1800 bux i spent tooling around in a seneca to get a regional job. Amazing that all that could be had on a combined income of 150k/yr....hmmmm.

Less than 200K blows. Sure, 60K/yr sounds good when you are 23 and single (Woot! I can buy a car). But, If you want to live in an expensive area (don't want to commute), want a nice house, want to send your kids to college and want to have a chance at a comfortable retirement, you better do something that can bring in 200K/yr.

Based on Skyhigh's "logic" all police officers in the US make 100k per year, because he's aware of some that do in his area. Or, all construction laborers make 40-50k per year, because that's what they make in his area.
So, if we were to follow that out to its conclusion, *all* pilots make at least 200k, because some do.
See, nothing to worry about!

I have to agree with Hotmama. It seems to me that many airline pilots really don't like flying. I love flying, it is my dream to pilot a jet. I would rather make $50k a year and fly rather than sit behind a desk in an office and make $100k. Money isn't everything. Would you be happy if you were cleaning septic tanks for $100k a year?

Of course if you are a hot mama you can always hook up with a guy who makes 200K/yr and life is good.

A very close friend of mine is a cop in Colorado and he makes substantially less than that.I think some of Skyhigh's points are valid and definitely worth consideration, but I disagree with the arguments that he makes in support of them.
