One interesting thing: a few years back I posted jobs for a part-time IT
admin person and for an accountant. I got over 200 responses for the IT
job
and only five or six were qualified (most were just "hobbists"). Most
their
correspondance was attrocious, about on part with someone in early
elementary school.


That is funny. Shows that the IT job today makes people dream more than a
pilot's job. A good IT job also pays more than all but the very best pilot
jobs,

Demand. Every company much bigger than a "Mom & Pop" operation needs IT
people. How many need commercial pilots?

and aguably requires more training.

That would certainly be arguable.

I'd think it would take more hours to get the degree, plus the
required experience for IT than it does for the commercial. Maybe not
ATP, but I'd almost bet on the commercial.
