The fact that Pilots were in this video is a joke. I work in the industry unless you work majors airlines you are not making much money and it cost too much money to go to flight school. In fact the most people in the industry know that its predicted in the next ten years there going to be a shortage of pliots becasue of the low pay and cost of schooling. If you wanted to be a piliot then you're basically saying I don't mind being homeless for a while hoping I get hired by majors

[aaronbonatz]

Is all of these jobs really don't need diplomas.

[kimjong-un]

Commercial pilots only work 1000 hours a year!!

[greenfairy]

what part is that this jobs don't need to degree is basically saying that they do need it.

[slowmo]

Postal Service, Ups, Truck Dr, Longshoreman.

[sophieatkinson]

Power plant operator
Pilot flight school
Detectives and investigators
Elevator installers and repairmen
Transportation storage and distribution

[ja]

All these jobs require you to do some amount of studying. Just because you didn't earn a degree dosnt mean you don't deserve one. 5 years to become an elevator repair man and your gonna tell me it's a job without a degree lol

What are the perks to being a pilot? Free alcohol and uber naps?
