Your first problem is your Master’s.
That’s just been a waste of time and funds.
Let me go about this the Dave Ramsey way: get two jobs drive Uber in addition and save save save save.
DO NOT MAKE ANY financial decisions based on a future paycheck
Don’t event think about taking one other lesson till you have at least $35-$40k saved. Then you can get a loan for the remainder. Keep working your most flexible job and pick up your flight training. If you get married think a $1900 wedding and not a $19,000 wedding. Your future spouse needs to be 100% behind you in this decision.
And get 3 jobs too.
At one point my wife had 4 part time jobs when I was working as a CFI and those weren’t even the bad years.
Don’t look at the market right now as well....you’re not eligible for hire right now.
The musical chairs is gonna stop one day and you don’t want to be unemployed with a $70k loan making your life miserable.
Work your ass off for the next 18-24 months and see if the market is still good enough to take the plunge.
Good luck to you in any case.
