$10,000 for all of those ratings? You must have had some sweet connections. Even if you figure you did everything for $85/hour, 250 hours of flight time at that rate is over $20,000. I'm not saying it's impossible, but unless you know a guy or have some type of scholarship.....yeah that's impossible.
