I wish I wasn't medically barred from having a pilot's license. Not for the pay, but I just like the idea of flying. Unfortunately, I cannot. I recommend people use their salaries to learn how to fly regardless! It's maybe ~$15-20k to get a PPL which is doable for the tech crowd with some planning.
I think GP meant some girls outside of software engineering.

I would love to switch (back) to teaching but a 10x pay cut is not doable. Maybe close to retirement I will give it a try.
