The schools I'm looking at have good employment stats -- over 90% of 2010 grads employed within 3 months of graduation, and an average total compensation around 120k right out of school. Debt is my biggest question right now. I finally started making enough to put a good dent in my undergrad and flight training debt, so I'd like to get it all paid off before I take out more loans. On the other hand, the opportunity cost for each year I spend sitting in the right seat of an RJ is about 80-90k. It doesn't make a lot of sense to keep slugging it out at such a low wage and delay taking a huge step forward.
