Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity![]()
And sometimes that meeting never happens. Be realistic, not passionate. I know that's not what people want to hear, though.

Why not become a doctor instead?
You guys think the new ATP written requirements are challenging? We don't know what true academic challenge is in this industry.
This is the type of response that I always find hilarious, and I'm not trying to call you out, but I'm going to use this post as a jumping off point.
Folks don't "just" go to law school, or medical school, or any graduate program. You don't wake up one day and say, "Hey, you know what sounds good? Law school! I think I'll apply and see if they're interested in my brilliance!"
First you have to have an undergraduate degree, which seems to be a problem in this industry.
Then you have to not only study for the LSAT for a few months, but then get through the marathon test. Think you'll destroy it and get in the 90th percentile? There's only a 10 percent chance of that happening no matter how smart you are, because EVERYONE taking the LSAT is smart.
Getting in is a year long process, to say nothing of GETTING THROUGH.
And medical school is even worse.
You have to have all the pre-requisites completed prior to application, you'll need a 4.0, a great MCAT score AND you'll likely need patient care experience. Right now medical schools are turning away FULLY QUALIFIED applicants, who would have no problems getting through the program and being successful. But because there are fewer slots than there are applicants, you can have a 4.0 from an top undergraduate program and a great MCAT score and still not get in.
And at Michigan's medical school, 5776 applied last year and the program admitted 177 of those. At Wayne State's medical school, it was 4,952 applications and 541 offers made.

I didn't do great on the LSAT, but I didn't bomb it (153), and found myself attending a local law school at home in southeast Michigan (NOT Cooley). .
Ya know, there are paths in aviation where you don't start out making 20k a year. Ive honestly never earned near that low and maybe I got lucky but I did a CFI-SIM-Charter route.
You're also ugly, which means people feel bad for you and have paid you more.
It's the only answer to why you haven't dealt with poverty level wages![]()
You... you are the worst!!!!!
