Default Dave Ramsey re: student loans

" I have run into a lot—a lot—of pilots with $200,000 in debt making $25,000 a year. A lot. It’s just really sad. The weird thing about flying is—as a pilot—it’s addictive. The people who are pilots—most of them would fly for free. They just love to fly. More than anything else, they love to fly. What happens when you find something that does that to your brain, it causes your brain to unplug, meaning that you quit doing math and you say, “Yeah! I’ll go $200,000 in debt to get a $25,000-a-year job.” This is dumb."

Large loans can be justified if the initial payout is good. That's not the case in aviation.

Exactly! How many more will we get that are willing to work for free if your given a free education also? If that's what you really want (free education)then try going to a military academy or get a scholarship.

Whatever, poser. No actual pilot with any kind of significant real-world experience would make the statement you did. Assuming you really are a pilot, I hope nobody I care about is in the same time zone when you eventually plug it into the ground.

BrandX is just mad because he thinks if he had gone to class 3 more weeks he could have been a pilot instead of a flight attendant.

If the job was as "easy" as he thinks, we'd let the FAs and pax do it...
