To be fair, my other industry was medicine - which costs 125k in uni fees/living costs to get paid just over minimum wage in the NHS: my salary as a pilot actually increases (per hour) faster than as a doctor, and if I take an optimistic approach and say I'll make it LH, peaks substantially higher than an NHS consultant.
Whilst engineering certainly is a more stable profession that I may well take the above advice and do for a while, the grass isn't necessarily always greener!
One would begin to think the UK is just not a great place to live...
