Affirmative. Not exactly payoff from attending ERAU, but having a degree in general. Most of my flying was off campus, and I was a local living at home, so I got off pretty easy with debt... and girls.
I'd only recommend ERAU for someone transferring in with an AA degree and then joining ROTC and getting a degree in something other than Aeronautics.
I admit I didn't do my homework before jumping into this industry, but as rough as things are, I still wouldn't do anything else. Nightmares of the food industry make me thankful for what I'm doing today.
