Again, when they finally pay it off, total is well into the 200s.

thanks
I got some guaranteed work outside of aviation which can fund my loan but according to QLD government website you don’t need to pay your loan until you exceeded something around 50k a year income so based on that I was thinking of just start the flight training
is it risky?
