I'm biased as I got the IFR in a beat up N model 172 (that caught fire a few years later and was a total insurance loss...). My first glass was at a regional. I'm just trying to give some credible guidance to a career changer. Well aside from, "have you considered law school?":rolleyes:

Recent news story about law school graduates sueing their schools because they are unable to find a job.

Maybe they don't have a Skyhigh and a APC for future lawyers :)
