I have private pilot license and during training there were also people in the school who were going for commercial/airline pilot license, really interesting group of people, from experienced old time instructors/pilots to fresh students. Before I thought pilots were just glorified bus drivers but after meeting them I see understand the appeal, why its so fucking cool.

Also training itself does not require very high IQ, and theory is not difficult, however I found the actual piloting skills and experience does not compare to anything else. When shit happens in the air, and there is very high possibility of dying (happened several times to me) one has to stop being soyboy and man the fuck up that instant (or else panic and die). When that happens it feels like brain literally rewires itself. Its a great feel
