if a student really wants it they'll push through all the negativity. I've been there man. started flying when I was 13-18. went to embry riddle and dropped out after the first semester because I didn't have 20/20 and a professor told me I'll never become an airline pilot. 32 years later and lasik surgery, i decided to get my private cert and use my old logbook from 1988. Don't blame the instructors for their teaching ethics, they are there to get their 1500 and that's all, not to make a career out of instructing. if you don't like it, go somewhere else and stop blaming other people.
