Chrisms86, thank God you're not one of those folks who think Africa is a vast plateau littered with grass thatched houses and half naked men feeding cows. Anyways, back to your topic, if you can find someone to lend you $30k to go to flight school by all means go for it. If this helps check out riversideflightcenter.com. Talk to a lady named Sayla, she'll give you advise on finance options. But on the real, do it while you're young. Good luck bro.
