11. Commercial Airline Pilot



Median Salary: 10.32 Lakh (Approximate)



Hiring Outlook: 11 Percent



The recent cost-cutting measures have crippled the airline industry and this is having a direct impact on pilots’ salaries. Adding fuel to the fire is the stagnant job market and the need for pilots to be away from home for long periods of time, which is not very encouraging.



10. Senior Corporate Executive



Median Salary: 23.59 Lakh (Approximate)



Hiring Outlook: 5 Percent

Flying in corporate jets and attending conferences in exotic locations can sound like fun, but the underlying stress and pressure to get the work done, plus the responsibility of livelihood of hundreds of employees in the company, can be unbearable and weigh you down at every possible instance.



Adding salt into the wounds of these professions is terrible job outlook, which is at a mere 5 percent, the lowest of all the entries in the list.
