Don't get me wrong, tuition has become ridiculous, but there are plenty of avenues out there the help....just many are unwilling to seize the opportunities. I'll concede that some can't take advantage of mil option due to medical issues.
Not sure about all that, but I did just see that Forbes posted an article about what companies are helping ICE.

How much debt do you want? Oh, by the way...SWA finally saw the light a few years ago. They no longer require a type. I’d say don’t do it. Any type on your ticket that you’ve never used would just look plain silly...Just my $0.02.

Ok Poindexter,
Some of thre information on the forum is factual, some is strictly entertainment, an some is both.
Twice in my post I stated that most of my post was in jest...you failed at being able to decipher what I stated twice and took offense. In true liberal fashion you started by taking one of my posts, butchering to fit your needs and painted yourself as a compassionate feeling individual pilot and mean ole' me as a heartless, uncaring, turd.
My point was simply....hundreds of thousands of pilots have figured out how to get a college education....if he can't figure it out then maybe you ought to set up a gofundme site for him
Capisce?
Ps....maybe for Christmas Santa will bring you a sense of humor if you are a good boy or girl
ALERT...ALERT....THAT WAS A JOKE!!

While there are certainly exceptions, by and large with the average price of tuition, the working your way through school isn't nearly as doable as it was 20 years ago. Plus, aside from a part time gig for spending money, a student in college should spend the majority of his efforts studying, not struggling to stay afloat. Otherwise they are going to struggle to complete their studies in a reasonable time with a satisfactory GPA.
If we're looking at this from the perspective that a pilot needs a bachelor's degree to get hired at a major... we're talking about a means to an end, not education or knowledge. So, go online: fraction of the cost and infinitely more flexible. Or go to a community college for the first two years, and then go waste your $$ at the major university if that piece of paper is so important.
However, if "knowledge" matters, again go online. I haven't verified this myself, but I've heard most prestigious Universities post their curriculum and lectures online for free. Also, for pennies you can learn web design and marketing on websites like skillshare. The content is there if these kids are interested... the piece of paper, however, that'll cost you. The upside is that the market is becoming less interested in what is becoming a meaningless representation of "work ethic", and more interested in tangible skills. It'll be interesting to see if the rest of the airlines follow suit.

I agree tuition is crazy. It's outright scandalous. So much so, in fact, that I predict that a "major university bubble" will burst in the not too distant future. People are running out of reasons to waste $250K on a gender studies degree. As long as the govt doesn't do something absurd like try to pay for everyone's tuition, kids are going to start looking elsewhere. And it can't come too soon, these institutions are losing credibility.
The government has used these over the past decade or more to put people into indentured servitude. And if you don’t think they are in bed with the major universities, I can sell you some oceanfront property in Arizona.

Had a fellow on a Spirit thread awhile back interviewing with them. Asked about a yellow suit. I offered this link. Never heard if he actually got one, and if he did, did he get the job...or get laughed out of the interview room.
