I've seen this floating around facebook lately. Just give jetBlue $125,000 or 15 easy monthly payments of $8,333.33 and you can become a fully qualified CFI! Just go ahead and add that to the $120,000 of debt from that four year degree and you're officially the proud owner of a quarter million dollars of debt to become a flight instructor with a path to a right seat at jetBlue!

WHAT A DEAL!!

$120k for a degree? These gross exaggerations are getting out of hand.

Once you factor in room and board, meals, textbooks and other ancillary life costs you can quite easily exceed 120K if you're not attending a public, in-state school.

Who is paying 10k for room and board at college? That seems grossly inflated. For the record, I don't think most people include these costs in the total cost for a degree.

People don't pay "sticker price" for their degrees coming out of HS. There's some truth to the student debt rhetoric, but there's also a lot of propaganda in there. I learned this from an economics podcast, but here's a good one the googles just returned- http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/09/30/444446022/what-youll-actually-pay-at-1-550-colleges

Who's better off: The guy who earned an engineering degree from a decent state school and did their flight ratings in the side? Or a Riddle Aviation grad who paid the maximum amount possible for their ratings and a worthless degree?
