I'm not sure about the FAA... but in Canada the application process is rigorous. It starts with an online math test. If you are one of the few that scores high enough... they then do an in-person assessment that contains a ton of crap (math, personality tests, vocabulary, iq tests etc. etc.... takes like 3 hours). From there you go to the interview phase (2 stages here). From there you go into training. Even at the training phase, only ~30% of people successfully complete training (they are very strict about the scores you need to pass tests). Overall, as a rough estimate... roughly 5000 apply every year in Canada, of that maybe 300-500 will get a chance to write the in-person assessment... of that maybe 150-250 will get an interview... of that maybe 100 will move onto training... and of that about 30 person will be hired. So yea, the requirements are nonexistent. But their application and training process is rigorous. Basically all they care about is aptitude for the job. Not about your education or work experience (of course... being a pilot for 20 years will probably help you in the interview process). | ||

Stick with programming and later you get to move on to more rewarding aspects of it. Depends how good you are and the contacts you have. I went straight from the chef school into working as a dessert chef of a major hotel near where i live because i have the right contacts. | ||

Trading stocks could also be seen in a similar light. All of these jobs (including professional sc2 playing) require all of the skills you listed in the OP. | ||

- Audio board controller for some place busy (NASL had a bronze league audio tech  ) - typically these are live shows- TV director or producer - live broadcasts Some companies have managed to automate most of this, but for breaking news, emergencies, or live shows, you still have to do things manually. Also, Surgeons, but good luck with that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | ||

Just think about what will make you feel challenged, engaged and interested. Not Starcraft 2 Look at the type of jobs you can do with the education you have, do a bit of research on them, and see what seems like the best match for you. | ||

- You use your hands a lot, and get rewarded quite nicely by being faster, smoother, or fancier. - You have to keep track of your "macro", how many chips and what color you have, making sure to "color up" (taking a lower denomination to a higher) the chips of the guest, so they don't have too many or too few chips, while making sure you don't have too few of a certain color. - Always multitasking, have to count the total of the cards, while paying attention to everyone else's bets and making sure they aren't cheating (by changing their bets after the cards have been dealt) - You run the show at your table, and if you ever get promoted you have to manage 3-4 games at once - You get a break every hour and a lot of casinos give you free food during your breaks =O | ||
