Is airline pilot a good job?

Career: Airline Pilot

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of airline pilots is projected to grow only 4 percent from 2016 to 2026, which is lower than almost any field. Most job openings occur when the current workforce reaches retirement age, so this career is very competitive. Aviation school can also be very expensive, but your job allows you to travel nationally and internationally. This career is good for ex-military pilots and people who are very passionate about flying.
