Where else would you command a $7.5m machine for $85k a year ? Train drivers, ship captains and high level tower crane drivers are all paid much more money and this is all I can think of. Where else would you earn such a low wage with so much responsibility ? 

Turning wrenches??

Try owning even more of that responsibility by signing you name to an "I Certify" Statement...on the same expensive aircraft for even less money than that bro.....which is what I did for 23 of the 25 years I worked on them yellow and black over grown bumble bees.

are you talking about since you are so specific on the cost

you had to bend them just right. not too much so you couldn't get the meat and stuff in there but not so wide when you bit into it they would fall apart. was paid 300k a year because a lot of pressure

autonomy will be driving your 8,5 million dollar bus soon

Sheeeit.

I was making $840 a month shimming control rods on a nuclear reactor on an $8,000,000,000 aircraft carrier.

Cry me a river.

maybe some people would rather fly helicopters instead of working on nuclear reactors but just a guess

Do something different then.

You can get away with it. Because there are plenty of military pilots who are collecting a pension, free medical. Fully funded 401K/TSP and probably a 100 percent VA Disability 

And they have no problem taking 85K just to get out of the house

I don't know, maybe the military,

lol
