Hi everyone! My friend Frank has a cool job. Believe it or not, he works as a pilot!
He has to fly people all over the world. He’s responsible for the plane and everyone on
board.
What Frank loves best about his job is seeing the world. The only thing he doesn’t like are
the long hours.
Working as a pilot has its pros and cons. It is fun flying a plane. It can be a challenging job,
though. It’s tiring and it can be stressful.
I’m very proud that my friend is a pilot. Please leave a comment below.
