US Flight Training Group Thrust Flight Survey Highlights That Americans Say Pilot Outranks Doctor, Lawyer and Software Developer in Career Value

Texas, USA – Americans are rethinking what it means to build a successful career and status is no longer the driving factor. According to the Thrust Flight 2025 Career Perceptions Survey Report, people now prioritize passion and timely payoff over titles and degrees. The survey delivered a striking insight: 63% believe an airline pilot profession offers greater return investment than becoming a doctor, reflecting a dramatic shift toward professions that are faster, more practical and less debt-driven.

The survey of 1,000 U.S. adults, conducted in June 2025 via the third-party platform Pollfish, found that while Americans are motivated by strong compensation and return on investment, barriers of cost and awareness hold them back from pursuing alternative routes. The findings reflect both a changing definition of success and the challenges that remain in bridging aspiration with accessibility.

Key findings from the report include:

  • More than half of Americans (52%) would choose a job with lower prestige but much higher pay over a high-status role with modest earnings.
  • Airline pilots now outrank doctors in perceived career value, with 63% rating the pilot avenue as an excellent return on time invested compared to only 50% who said the same of doctors.
  • When asked what matters most in choosing an occupation, respondents ranked passion (34%) far ahead of work-life balance (26%) salary (18%), job security (14%) or prestige (2%).
  • A strong majority (78%) believe non-college options can deliver the same long-term success as a four year degree, while only 4% disagree.
  • Parents are rethinking their advice, with 67% saying they would encourage their children to skip college if another track was stable and well paid.
  • Barriers remain, as 26% cite upfront costs and 23% cite lack of awareness as the biggest obstacles to pursuing trade or vocational roles.

The growing disconnect between what Americans want in a career and what they believe is possible opens the door for industries offering accelerated, more rewarding tracks. Aviation, in particular, combines strong salaries, job reliability and flexibility, all without the lengthy education or overwhelming debt that other professions require.

“Today’s workforce wants impact and income, not just a title,” said Patrick Arnzen, CEO of Thrust Flight. “Americans, especially younger generations, are asking smarter questions about payoff. They don’t want to wait ten years to see results. Pilot training resonates because it offers exactly what they want: a quicker, more direct route to a stable, well-paid profession.”
