Ok I think skyhigh is a bit excessive with his rant, but I do agree with him.

You are a fool to argue that a 100k investment on flight training is the best place to invest. Sure things are starting to turn around, but I would have never started flight training post 911. There are better ways to spend your money. I started a business about a month and a half ago, to compensate for my regional chump change. I invested 45k, my first month I grossed just over 10k, my overhead for the year is about 8k and I’m up to 3500 this month already. I just hate to see folks tripping over themselves making foolish decisions just to say look ma I fly a jet. Sure in 20 years it should pay off for ya, but I will have been retired for ten spending my time on the lake with my family.....
To each their own.
