As to the question. I would say yes, but not with an aviation degree and/or massive amounts of debt. I would suggest alternative careers, such as airport management, but ultimately let him/her decide.
yes they are trained at very good US schools of which are very hard to get into for you and I. But for someone who is a foreigner with good grades and is of minority they get in on grants and scholarships.
Just the other day I sat next to a man who's son just applied for 3 schools in CA. UC Berkley, USC, and UC San Diego. His son is not a minority and gets a 4.0. He does not think he will get in to any of those schools because you have all the foreign students applying and taking the spots. Those three schools are the hardest public schools to get into in CA. (for a white kid).
So my point is this country and the school system is not making it easy for the average white guy to succeed.
I am all for having exchange students and minorities gaining higher education and working in the US. but do not put your own citizens at a disadvantage.
I also agree that the average indian or asian or whoever that grew up in another country will out perform the average middle class white kid because they probably want it more and feel less entitled to it.
its a problem in this country and I am fearful for my son who is only 5 months old. what his future will look like.
