That's worth $200,000 to $400,000 as well as more money every year when you're at a major airline since you might be hired several months, or years, sooner.
Sometimes debt makes sense.

All this is why being a pro pilot is mainly for rich kids. The only a way a poor kid can make it is with extreme focus and/or some good luck. You can work your way through the ratings for half the cost of a flight school. That way you can stop and walk away without regret/debt if it doesn't work out.
