At my University I just graduated from, the Tuition alone was 33K a year, that doesn't include room, board, etc.. So there are kids there that spend $160,000 or more to go to my college and most of the Business majors come out making $50,000 a year or less. Most are in the $36,000 range for Finance & Marketing, they will be spending years paying that back unless they are on good scholarships.

So IMO I wouldn't have gone to this school unless I knew I was going to come out making very good money, and didn't cover most cost through scholarship (By the end I had covered a little over half with scholarships)

Commercial pilots start out making $30k or so. I would be $150k in debt at minimum. Pay goes up to six figures, but that takes a long time. (10yrs+)
