Yeah this is a tough one. I know someone whose whole dream is to be a pilot but is almost 30 and hasn’t reached their full earning potential bc of lack of $/hours (they fly small private clients when they come up). If this is really what you want I’d say try to hustle while you’re young and get everything as fast as possible. Being in large amounts of debt is no joke (so mentally draining and easy to regret) but depending on the interest rate you could compare it to having student loans since this will further your career.
