The first is stressful as fuck, the second is boring as fuck, and the last is fairly cool, particularly in Europe, you could see all the euro countries and visit them.

Id be a pilot.

Yeah, it'll be a good 15+ years before you make captain, which is like $80,000+ depending on the airline

no oportunities for pilots in the euro market. Look it up, no one hires exept 20 lucky people per year that go to easyjet and ryanair.
They have 100,000£ loans (not kidding) and no jobs most of the time (exept for the lucky few that get the shit tier low paid jobs)

go to any aeronotical forum, there is no opportunity for you in this world as a pilot.

i was thinking of becoming a pilot, then realised how difficult it is. my friend from hs is a pilot and says it tough, but he found a job doing small planes.

maybe bush piloting in the country. could help out in natural disasters or third world countries

Being a pilot for an airline is not hard, it's the shitty pay like the other guys said

You've posted 3 totally different jobs so you lack direction.

IB what? That could be dozens of different areas with multiple paths to get there. You, like most here probably have no clue.

Accounting, much like above you probably know very little about it. There's a likely oversupply of accountants but an undersupply of passionate and talented accountants. don't do it unless the work excites you or you'll just be another shit accountant.

Pilots are a dying job. As far as fighter pilots go they are no longer even training them in a lot of cases because remote fighters are better and just as capable if not more so. Down the track commercial might go the same way, but even if it doesn't there Is already a lack of jobs.

Congratulations, all you needed to add to your list is doctor, marine biologist, and entrepreneur and you'd have put up a list of every teenagers "job they have heard of but know nothing about"

Just being realistic m8, you don't just look at some job that you think is fun/pays well and decide 'yes, that is what I will do' - you look at your personality and your skillset and find a job that matches it, has good prospects and upward mobility, and find a way to make it work for you. If you look at 90% of other people in the workforce that are unsuccessful or unhappy it's because they were encouraged by their parents or worse, a career counselor, to do a specific job, got into it knowing nothing about it and now hate their 9-5 grind because they didn't take the time to make the right decision from the start. Do your own research and do it right because if you make the wrong decision now, you will be out several years of your life and potentially a few hundred thou if not millions in future earnings. Don't pick 3 jobs you like the sound of, find the right career path for you. I would suggest doing some aptitude testing/skills testing and going from there rather than choosing a job and working backwards.

This has been discussed since at least 2009 if not earlier, it is becoming increasingly uncommon for air forces to use manned missions when they are capable of (or are developing) unmanned aviation. Depending on how old you are - esp. in OPs case - fighter pilots will be non-existent in the first world within our lifetimes, and when that happens commercial wouldn't be far off - look at all the flight accidents that have happened because of human error/human's going crazy - there's enough reason for the public to be willing to fly in a plane that lacks the human pilot. All in due time.

Given that you blatantly don't have any real idea which way to go already, you may as well just settle for any old ok job at a good company.

You either derive happiness in life from doing something you love as a career, or given that not everyone can realistically do that, from what you do outside of work.

If you choose the second option willingly, that is fine. You only need to earn enough to pay your dues (minimal at 18 usually) and have enough money to be happy doing stuff you enjoy.

Given that you are still a kid, and presumably not a retard, you could swing a promotion or two easily thereby increasing your money for said stuff.

So just get any old job. It doesn't have to matter.

That's because we don't have actual fighter conflicts, just low-risk drone shit.

Drones would not stand a chance in actual contested airspace due to response lag.

Nigga it's easier to be a doctor than a pilot.

Horrible advice.

OP I think your best bet is Accountant. Aim for auditing at Big 4 firm.
