Someone else mentioned on here about education.
I was once told that there were only two kinds of **good** debt.

Property and education.

Should no one go to law school because of $50k in debt (minimum) they will have and a small percentage of lawyers make the BIG BUCKS?
Flight training is investing in your education and in your future; just like getting the higher degrees.
Now how you pay for it and HOW MUCH you pay for it is the real key.
Different people have different opinions and they seem to all have merit.

Quick and expensive = seniority.
Slower paced and cheaper = less debt and gain more experience.

Good luck in researching and finding what best works for YOUR particular situation.
