Sure they are.. Except no one gives a flying* crap about it.
*no pun intended

Pick any profession out of a hat and pretty much every soft skill you learn in an airline environment is needed.

Except the only one that actually matters. And that's the direct industry knowledge.

Time management, risk assessment, team oriented environments, multi-tasking the list goes on....

None of these will get a job outside aviation that pays even remotely close because it doesn't qualify you as any thing other than what should be expected of a well educated applicant .

There were multiple articles and even ones that were quite motivational for people to consider employing pilots but at the end of the day, why would a company hire someone without industry knowledge?

So back to my first comment and OPs question.

I would get a proper money making professional career, even if just a few years. Then burn my money flying, if it becomes a career (and yeah I quite enjoyed the past decade I put in it) then you have a plan B in you pocket that no one can take from you.
