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

Unemployed lawyers sue schools over promises of jobs - Washington Times

maybe we should have people start suing ERAU for false advertising over this whole pilot shortage thing, which could then actually create a real shortage (globally) if every 141 school goes out of biz.
