“Airline pilot.”
“My job can definitely be stressful, like a few hours of no stress at all, and then one little thing gets messed up and you’re scrambling. For the most part, it’s fairly relaxed, but it has its moments. But my low stress comes from my schedule.
“We’re supposed to work about 80 hours a month, and those hours are doors closed to doors open, so basically our ‘work’ hours are just the time spent moving passengers, not the hour and a half at least that it takes to get through security, get to the gate, wait for the plane, and do the whole preflight routine, or the time spent after you land.
“But all that being said, if you’re just working shifts where you do two four-hour legs in a day, then you’re working 10 days a month. I’m in the middle of two weeks off right now, not vacation time, just two weeks off because I got all my credit hours at the start and the end of the month. So yeah, life’s pretty relaxed. I get paid well, I have a mostly fun job, and I get plenty of downtime.
“If you can get through a couple of years of training and then all the time building hours working shitty jobs for low pay (I did four years of flying cargo in shitty turboprops, and I definitely had an easier go of things than most of the people I went through training with), life really is great once you get to the airlines.”
