None. I've looked into the average salaries for other jobs, outside of aviation, and it is hard to find one that has an average salary over $70-$80K. Not that $80K is bad money, but some people have the idea that other people are easily making $100K, which isn't the case at all.
From what I've read, the average salary for someone with a bachelors degree is $65K, masters degree, $83K, and PhD, $103K. Those salaries are lower than what I would have thought, especially for a masters and PhD.
