Ruchi and I walked into a theater of adults, ready to learn and absorb what Mr. O'Connor was talking about in class earlier on in the week. I can't decide which movie was scarier.
I am still in awe of one particular fact; airplane pilots get paid $19,000-23,000 a year. Moore interviewed a few pilots for major airlines, and one who refused to show his face on camera told him he used food stamps for 4 months and had $10,000 of credit card debt (only for the necessities). This website says that in 2004, the median salary of all airline pilots was $129, 250 per year.
It made me upset to hear that airlines will take advantage of the fact that pilots love flying and won't ever stop.
I can't imagine having to decide between having my dream job or having enough money to eat.
What would you do? Would you do what you love forever or would you pay the bills on time?
