In the semi-sleezy world of real estate, it's illegal to sell a home and make the promise that the value of the property will increase in the future. I guess more than a few people have been burned by promises that didn't pan out they way they were sold.

Interesting how it's illegal to make a false representation with respect to property, but not with someones career and livelyhood.

I was an independent flight instructor for a long time before moving to the airlines, and I NEVER, EVER sold any one the glittery dream of being an airline pilot. Frankly, I had to dispense some reality that crushed a few dreams from time to time.

If I wanted to avoid any legal problems in the future, I'd take that article down fast, or at least edit it so that it was based on FACT not profit driven conjecture.
