I look at my buddys from college, and no one is making even close to what I am, I went to Penn State.

You guys dont realize the US economy sucks, and this country is so in debt that the US dollar is slowly crumbling, just wait till its no longer the worlds reserve currency. That mixed with baby boomers unable to retire, THERE ARE NO JOBS FOR SOMEONE IN THEIR 20s!!!

Being a pilot is great in that regard.
