POLL: what profession has biggest expectation/reality gap?

So is being a lawyer not fun and exciting? Do you guys not enjoy big trials?

Martin Van Nostrand

Most lawyers do 0 or very few trials in their careers

Airline pilot. The job is 99% boring and 1% complete terror. They don't live a glamorous lifestyle and party at each

good call. where I grew up in DFW, lots of pilots in our ward & stake

Seniority still has it advantages. Those long haul captains still get paid very well and have pretty good benefits.

1/16/21 9:22am

but you are legitimately called captain. that means something

so is the tour operator on Disney's Jungle Cruise ride

1/14/21 10:03am

Can you marry passengers on your plane? If not, you’re not a real captain.

There are no rules when you're over international waters.

It becomes a pretty comfy gig

1/14/21 10:08am

good work if you can get to that level

1/14/21 10:09am

but those at the top of just about any industry have pretty cushy gigs

Is there 1% terror? I’m always curious how often things get hairy

No. I have never been terrified. I have been an airline pilot since 2001.

1/16/21 9:19am

Initially yes...but once you get going and get some seniority being a pilot is

My dad became an airline pilot after retiring from the military. I can only assume it’s because he still wanted to fly

letthewookieewin

My dad did the same. He loved his airline captain career

Nah. It's a pretty good job. Many times even fun. I don't dread going to work. I've never been terrified while there.

1/16/21 9:11am

Looks like engineering/IT for the win! Haha.

Way too many lawyers in this country. For many lawyers the three years and cost

Lawyer from my experience. Everyone growing up assumed lawyers were rich

USMCdad

1/14/21 11:47am

Yep, true for many lawyers. Many shouldn't go to law school. It's been good to

While I am sure there are plenty of exceptions, every single attorney I know who went to big law

Clark Addison

I agree

HiLife

1/15/21 11:53am

I agree. Having graduated from a low tier law school, I knew many people that ended up as recruiters, real estate agents
