Highest paid jobs in the UK 2011 | Money | The Guardian
Interesting to see the #4 position there. Perhaps a reminder that although the first job or two can pay stinking wages, and more and more there's a cost associated with getting in the door; the rewards are there once you're in and experienced.
Arguably you could say the barriers to entry (in terms of education, training and experience, not how much cash your parents have!) are lower for pilots than for all the other top 5 jobs.
Now if only there were any jobs out there...
