You've had it. Enough with the boring drudgery. You want glamour. We're talking globe-trotting, footlights, camera-snapping glamour -- the jobs that everyone envies. While every job has its good and bad points, let's face it, some are just more glamorous than others. Outplacement firm Challenger, Grey and Christmas suggests these glamorous jobs:

Airline pilot

Salary: $53,000 - $144,140

Becoming a commercial airline pilot, for some, is a life-long dream. But before you head for the cockpit, you'll need a commercial pilot's license issued by the FAA. This requires at least 250 hours of flight experience.

Commercial and multi-engine pilot training and flight instructor courses can cost from $50,000 to $70,000. Brian, who has flown for two major commercial airlines, started saving to go to commercial flight school when he was 13. He loves his job and says his hours are flexible, allowing plenty of time for family.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), FAA regulations restrict airline pilots from flying more than 100 hours a month or more than 1,000 hours a year. Most fly an average of 75 hours a month and work additional hours performing non-flying duties.
