Do not spend upwards of 100,000 on college + flight expenses based on emotions!
I think HSLD in particular has great wisdom across all his posts, this one included.
I'm not saying don't fly for a living or don't go to UND either. But- be rational with large sums of money and the *lifestyle* you are choosing for yourself and anyone close to you.
(Decisions in the cockpit should be based on cool thinking vs emotion, too...how's that for correlation?)
P.S. don't let ANY flight school dazzle you with "pilot shortage" propaganda / crap.
