Still don't know how accurate this is.

Probabably fairly accurate as far as average salaries go.

It's probably accurate average-wise, but everyone here knows that airline captains, first officers, and flight engineers are three different jobs with three different payscales at each individual company, so lumping them together and averaging them out doesn't really mean much.

True, which can also be said for all of the other professions on that list. Take a look at lawyers, for example. We all know that although that may be the average, there are plenty of lawyers making $1 million per year in high-dollar law firms in major cities, while there are also plenty of lawyers working in public defender's offices making $50k. So in reality, the numbers don't tell much of a story at all.

For every ten plumbers living in a van down by the river, is one that owns a George Brazil franchise.

Ain't nothing wrong with being a plumber. Plus you only gotta know two things to go to plumbing school.

1) S*** rolls downhill
2) Payday is Friday

And your services will always be in demand and you'll never have to worry about your job being outsourced or off shored. Plus • is often more friendly than people.

Ugh, I'm not dissing plumbers, dingleberries!

That would be idiotic.

However I am saying before we all go "Ooh! Lookit dat LOOT!" take pause and realize they're all not making that.

Any profession.

Meh... That's why we have Cornish Pasties.

In 2000 when I decided to get out of plumbing (sarcasm) and start flying, pilots were #4 on the list.
