What are some benefits for being a pilot?

If you're asking why a person would want to fly, that's a question man has been asking himself since the dawn of time...to which there are no easy answers. If you're asking why a person would want to have a job as a pilot, that's easier to answer. Flying can be a very rewarding profession offering both good pay and good time off. It can also be a rewarding profession personally, in that in a very real, physical sense, it is one of the few remaining professions in which one is almost entirely in control of one's own destiny.
The pilot has big earnings.
