Delayed Entry. The military uses an enlistment option called the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) to allow you to sign up for the Corps today and leave for training up to one year later. This gives you time to physically and emotionally prepare until a spot in boot camp opens up.
The BLS distinguishes between commercial pilots and those who fly passengers, which it designates as airline pilots. As of May 2012, airline pilots, copilots and flight engineers earn an average annual salary of $114,200. The average salary of commercial pilots, as of May 2013, was $74,470, according to the BLS. A commercial pilot just starting out can expect to earn as little as $20,00 during her first year on the job, according to the BLS. On average, though, the bottom ten percent earned around $36,850 in 2013.
Yet median wages tell only part of the story of how much workers in an occupation actually earn. Commercial pilots, for example, had a median annual wage of $75,620âmore than double the median for all occupations in May 2014.But commercial pilots' wage difference, the gap between the 90th percentile wage and the 10th percentile wage, was more than $100,000.hat includes the players who make news for signing multimillion-dollar contracts. But the lowest earning 10 percent of athletes and sports competitors had annual wages of less than $20,190. That's quite a bit less than the $35,540 median for all occupations in May 2014âand nowhere near what top athletes earn.
