The flight training industry is a big business.
There is a long line of people ranging from instructors, to the secretaries and admin staff at the flying schools, to the government workers, medical examiners, you name it, who are totally dependent on there being a constant supply of young dreamers with stars in their eyes.
I'ts a big business, and every wannabe who steps into the "sales office" (pardon, it's technically called the 'Admissions Office'" should be aware of this fact.
