Any person getting an education today should view schools/universities as used car salesmen. If you want to learn to fly, fine. Just understand that flight schools are ultimately looking to make a *big, big, big* dollar sale out of YOU!
There are loooots of overpriced, overhyped degrees today. Depending on where you go aviation can certainly be one of those degrees that separates you from your money, your credit rating, and put you on a track to 20-30 thousand a year.
Buyer beware. Do your research. Don't fall for higher education lies. Aviation or not, college is a business looking to make a sale!
