I dont think a person posting a rant is going to change any ones opinion on flying for a career. SkyHigh is making it seem like everyone spends 100k plus on their flight training and a non aviation related degree. I am going to college almost free (scholarships), and flying at a small FBO. Do you think that if you go on to an artist forum and rant about how the kind of career move would suck, that they would change their mind.Probably not. Flying is not a normal career move. No one goes "well that looks fun" and becomes an airline pilot. Most are the people that have grown up loving the smell of Jet-A. Yes times have changed, but people still have dreams. Spending 30k on a car is stupid, not using a rubber on a one night stand is stupid, but following a dream career is not (As long as you do it is a smart manner).
