What is your ideal job???

[ILLINI]

This was pretty funny! AOL had this thing that asked you several different questions and it would recommend different careers that suite your personality. My number one job was a flight instructor and my number three job was a commercial airline pilot. The funny part was the part where it told me the salaries these jobs make. According to this site, a flight instructor can expect to make anywhere from $67,030- $82,085!!!! And a commercial airline pilot can expect to make anywhere from $57,435- $76,063. First of all, I NEVER saw that kind of money as a flight instructor, and since when do instructor make more than commercial airline pilots??? Maybe a regional airline pilot I guess.

It said I should be cleaning the hoses for a septic tank service.

I typically don't believe these kind of things. Flight Instructor and Commercial Pilot were 15 and 19, respectively. The job that I have now (music biz) pretty much covered 1-20. I guess it was right, and I should keep my day job.

By the way, apparently I can make $67,030- $82,085 as a Flight Instructor. I'd like to know where that job opening is!

Hmm.

Mine said a bunch of financial/Gov't svc managers. Pretty good as my M.S. is in Finance and they didn't even ask.

I think the flight instructor pay range may include "instructor pilots" already in the airline system such as check airmen, thus the skew to the right on the pay scale. Just a guess.
