Airline and Commercial Pilots : Occupational Outlook Handbook : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Airline and Commercial Pilots 2010 median pay - $92,060 per year
92>68, but oh yeah - I forgot - these statistics on pilot salaries are hopelessly incorrect. But for sure the lawyer ones are correct.

MOST airline pilots are not A++ students who go to Brown or Stanford. We are B- dyslexics who go to Purdue. But we love flying and go through the difficult and exhausting process of becoming one.

Ya and how are the stats made up? Do 25% make 100k+ plus but go to ivy league level school, and 75% make 40k or less??? How many airline pilots could get into and pass an ivy league law school??? Heck how many could even get a law degree, and what % of that years graduates would they be worth?? I bet most of us would be 50% or less.

You're not even comparing 'apples to apples', so to speak. Or even 'apples to oranges' for that matter. At least those are both fruits. You, Wingtips, seem to be comparing 'apples to pipe wrenches' in this case.
You are comparing two vastly different skill sets, job functions, and educations. I don't know about your airline, but when I go to work, I don't read case studies and then write a summary about the upcoming leg. While we're talking about lawyers, did you know that in California one can become a lawyer without ever attending law school? It's true. Are you going to paint all lawyers (or at least all CA lawyers) into a lower class since some among them didn't submit to the same lofty educational standards as others?
I know plenty of pilots with law degrees, MBA's, and any other professional certification under the sun. I also know pilots who didn't complete high school. Can't necessarily tell the difference in the flight deck.
-On the other hand, I think you proved your own point rather well.

Then again average starting salary in a private pratice is 108k.
So tell me how you think being a pilot is a better option
