Go the military route. It's free!

The Military will get it's money back out of you!
 

I would not say it's "free". You'll pay them back with 10 + years of blood, sweat and tears.:(

Yea I'd rather have my blood sweat and tears than money, but that's just me. I respect and support the milliary and everyone in it, but it is not for me.

If it's a good FBO and you get to know the owner/instructors, it could work to your advantage. Good instructors are very often willing to help out up-and-coming professional pilots. I met a guy in one of my classes a couple years ago, and we ran into each other this semester. He told me to come out wo his flight school, where the planes are pretty cheap ($70 for a Cherokee 140) and he would give me dual for free. We've done 2 flights together so far, with more on the way.
Other things include getting slightly reduced rates and maybe even a flight where they "forget to bill you" once in a while. It depends alot on the FBO, the quaility of the instructors (the guy I mentioned above has an app in with XJet, and definently deserves the job), and also how much you stufy and dedicate yourself to becoming a professional.

Truthfully, flying 11-leg turboprop days in NE winter storms for $18K/year, living in your car in the airport parking lot, and showering at the gym is more unpleasant than most military aviation jobs (unless you catch a SAM and punch out over Tehran). Be forwarned, entry-level civilian flying jobs are NOT what you think they are...by the time you get great pay and lifestyle, you will have grey hair (if you have any left at all).

Believe me I have heard that 1000 times. I still plan on being a civilian pilot, and I am very passionate about it, so thanks for the advice.
