I don't believe you'll be as successful as you would like to be. A specialty skill such as aviation is one of a few jobs where experience matters. I'm curious just how many pilots ever thought about "the real world" and what it takes to attain a high paying job?

Any ever thought to try out the job market outside of aviation to see what they are really worth to anyone other than the "legends in their own minds?" I mean really. . .run a hypothetical whereby you lose your physical or you're incapacitated. . .what's your plan B?
