Redline,

Gotta say I've found university to be infinately cheaper - a part-time degree at the University of London for 4 years will cost under £4,000 during which time you can hold down a full-time job. That is a far cry from the tens of thousands we're talking here. The job guarantees from a degree are non-existant but at least the probability of employment can be guaged.

I certainly wouldn't encourage anyone to declare bankrupt - akin to getting expensive training and a great job with the bill footed by the tax-payer. From an economics point of view it might sound ok, but from an ethical point of view? With all due respect, I doubt I could stomach sharing the flightdeck with someone who used this as a means to finance training. Why not just borrow the money off mates, then do a runner? At the end of the day it amounts to the same thing.
