SkyHigh, I'm not coming down on you. But seriously, did you believe pilots were making $300,000 a year? Did you do any research into the career field? Originally Posted by SkyHigh

Even 80K is way too little for the price it takes to get there. A better idea would be to save your money and buy a house and then get a job as a postman.It just does not make any sense unless there is a significant compensation fairly early on.

I can't believe individuals are out there taking $150,000 loans to go to a flight academy. Wow.
