How times have changed.
The cost of attending some of these aviation colleges I can understand being a deterrent, but you don't have to spend $200k and go to Embry Riddle to be a pilot either.
Anyways as far as makeup I don't know other than my class which was mostly under 30.
Four years paying college tuition making no money, then 2 years flight instructing to get 1500 hours making no money and paying back loans, then spend your first year at a regional making poverty wages. Up to 7 straight years of crap with no guaranteed career progression and you don't see how someone can be discouraged to join this industry
