Don't go into aviation for the money. Some of the most enjoyable people to fly with are the ones who are excited about what they do, not how much it pays. Aviation can be very profitable. But then again it might take 10 years or more to ever recover your initial training cost and debt incurred while working low paying entry level jobs. IF big money is what you are interested in go into law or wall street or something like that.

HA! HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Being a lawyer is like being a pilot; there are a lot of people who make ok money, and a few people who make tons of money.

After law school, I came straight back to flying airplanes. I make more, and I'm home more, than my colleagues who are practicing.

There needs to be an alimony joke here.
Accompanied by a shrug when we don’t.
Thats the military for you these days, esp as a reserve technician full-timer, Army/AF. The whole "lets see how much BS we can pile on your plate in a day, oh and maybe you can go fly some."

If things had gone more satisfactory, post graduation from law school? Would you be working in law, or still flying airplanes?

Not sure what you mean, as the track I took was incredibly intentional since about halfway through law school. Since I was recalled at ExpressJet, I had no intention of practicing law, and to do so on a part time basis woukd be malpractice on its face.

The numbers are probably not correct down to the penny, but they’re close enough that you get the idea.
Take any rate on APC, multiply by 1000, and there’s your ballpark. How much more info do you need,

As has been stated here in this very thread and elsewhere by others the numbers on APC are not close to being accurate.

I was told the same thing. A buddy of mine though pulled up the untied contract and we compared it to APC and APC was actually low on the hourly rates. I had been told APC was way too high but he proved me wrong.
It's still over $100,000 off in my situation.

It's time to buy that new 6-series coupe!
Meh. Gas combustion engine. Just think, that Model S could be "topping off" in my garage as we speak.

I'm guessing you're not bidding a medium or low line and just flying that? For the people that are it should be pretty close if you aren't including profit sharing.
I really don’t work that much. I probably average maybe 70 hrs per month, on the high side. Some “other stuff” here and there but my W-2 well North of 1000x the APC rate. Plus the other data on the page is wrong.
I guess I know the source of “the girls on the pilot wives page said you get a monthly guarantee!” “nope, not in the last 20 years, where are they getting this crap from?”

So why doesn’t someone in the group of you simply hit the link to send updates?
If they don’t get accurate information it can’t be updated.
I think you're underestimating the laziness of a pilot.
I could probably correct it but that requires stuff. And stuff is difficult. Difficulty makes me lazy and tired. I'm literally going to go dig in the fridge and look for dinner stuff. But I'll probably check my iMessage first. Maybe.
