Top 50 Jobs in America, an observation

[av8tor128]

Professional Pilot is not listed in the top 50 jobs in America. I reviewed the rest of the list of 166 titles and did not see any aviation mentioned.
I remember better days.

Curious how a Pharmacist's average pay is $91,998. Does Walgreens really pay a pill counter that much? Talking about an easy job.

Maybe some of these PFT schools should move in on the Pharmacy market....

Yeah, but no one grows up dreaming about becoming a Pharmacist and a Pharmacy degree is like a 6 year program. The problem is that too many kids grow up with dreams about being pilots. They don't consider the pay and lifestyle until it is too late. Then most just become bitter. It's all supply and demand. Not much supply for licensed Phramacists and then consider the supply of pilots in the pipeline waiting to live the dream.

What's so great about dreams anyway? Your only purpose on this planet is to combine DNA with someone else in order to satisfy a procreation instinct. Anything after that is just window dressing and red wheels.

Commercial Pilot is about 46 down on the second page, at 98,392 average pay per year, with a 16.81% 10 year job growth forecast.

"Time Served"

JohnE Yes, very easy... The Technician does all the counting of the pills! I think the PHARMACIST IS BEING COMPENSATED FOR 8 YEARS OF HITTING THE BOOKS "Time Served"......BUT As a Pharmacy Tech myself working mostly in Hospital & long-term care pharmacy's much better $$$$....and working for retail (Eckerd) long enough to never work retail again....working for a "RETAIL" Pharmacy,CVS,Walgreen's, Walgreen's paying (Techs) about $10 to $12 per hour just enough to keep you out of a cardboard box, and from under a bridge
$Oh ! just a small FYI the Pharmacist make about $49.00 per hour $

The thing is, there's only one job on that list that clears more than 200k, and only seven that break 100k. I wouldn't do any job on that list for 200k, my sanity is more precious to me. The bulk of those jobs have you sitting on your arse in a forest of cubicles genreating paperwork, or doing some way out left brain creative/expressive thing which for me would be like teaching the proverbial pig to sing. They can keep that crap.

I'd rather spend my time periodically enjoying the outdoors and fresh air - in full uniform, holding a picket sign.

Amen to that.
