Others pick people up from the top of skyscrapers. And some pilots fly planes that keep track of the weather. Of course, pilots get to go to faraway places. And, they're needed all over the country and all over the world, so they can live almost anyplace. Besides, wherever they go, they can fly home again.
Pilots work strange hours.
They might start work in the middle of the night and not finish for 15 hours. But they don't work every day. Sometimes, they have a few days off before it's time to go back to work. Many pilots like going to different places and not having the same schedule all the time. There's a lot more to being a pilot than that.
