If $10,000 was all that separated me from a good life long career job then yes I would pay for a type. You guys are paying a fortune to get educated and trained and continue to pay through the acceptance of extended low wages. Anything to remain in the saddle.
In my home town the most successful asphalt company, fencing contractor, real estate investor and excavator all have one thing in common. They all got degrees in aviation and are commercial pilots but quit the profession because the pay was so bad. Now they have successful businesses and are able to support their families.
The only way things will get better is if people stop showing up for the job and choose to have a life and make a reasonable living.
