An aviation degree is good for debt, so it seems. My CFI had one and about $70K in debt from his school/ratings. He had to give up on flying to become a cop.
I felt sorry for him. He hoped to become a pilot for the police. I told him it would be difficult - most of them have a strong military network working in their favor.
I suggested the AF as a career. He was opposed to that based on the military being a dangerous line of work.
