Lets see hmmm... there is power,prestigue, adrenaline,courage, self confidance, health, wings...to make it short THE RIGHT STUFF... or to say PILOT... and they are prety good at math and physics too! Only job thats on this planet better than that is astronaut but again most astronouts are pilots.... and I made one mistake all jobs on this list are from planet, when they make a list of jobs thats not on planet maybe they will mention it. And if in some point mankind needs representative,pretty sure it wont be matematician... Best job in the world?
