I'm quite certain the skill set required to fly airplanes isn't something every human was born with. 3 years of flight instructing taught me that. It's possible some people aren't motivated enough to jump through the hoops airline pilots have had to jump through. It's possible some of us without money took a look around and decided there was a better future out there and figured out a way to make it happen.
Your premise couldn't be more ridiculous.
Who cosigned your student loans? My parents credit was too bad to cosign mine, which almost derailed me from getting to where I am today. Thankfully, I was blessed to have a grandmother with good credit to step in. I got grants and scholarships too, but without that 60k loan, I never would have made it over the hump.
I had a few students who had no problem with money, and failed out due to their own lack of work ethic. But many more ran out of money halfway through the program and had to drop out.
Money is a huge obstacle.
