how do you actually achieve a college degree and complete flight training without being in debt? Let me know because all my check is going into repaying both!

if he doesnt love it... i mean really have desire and love of airplanes, its a tough road. Its not just a job... well it could be I guess, but for many of those its a miserable job. Its not the profession...either on the military or civilian side that it once was..... I have done and both and am currently back on the civilian side.....YES its a sick addiction. this is a tough business either way, and the rewards from a personal perspective need to help offset the loads of BS that come with this industry. If he wants to fly just because he thinks its cool....... send him to medical school.

Well debt free pilots are either rich.... or went the military route.....
