Jobs I'd Never Want: Pilot

Tweet

This is a little ironic, I grew up on an Air Force base for a fair chunk of my childhood. I used to want to be a pilot, I even spent time in simulators on the Air Force base, and loved it. I even remember being very young (about 4 or 5) and wishing on a star that I could fly, maybe lots of kids do that, but I wanted it more than anything at the time. In retrospect, I think the reason I longed to fly so bad was because I have trouble with basic walking. Maybe subconsciously I felt like if I could fly, I'd be less reliant on my crippled legs. Anyway, these days I have zero interest in being a pilot, because I have read multiple accounts of plane crashes (and perhaps seen Final Destination a few too many times, lol.) Plus I'd simply rather not be 30,000 feet up if I'm in an accident. Image via Pixabay
