Help! Son wants to be a pilot.

Hi. Firstly, Please excuse my complete lack of knowledge. My son has wanted to be a pilot since he was 5, he is now 15 and starting to look more seriously at his options. I have made a few enquiries because I like to interfere and I don't want him to end up with a mountain of debt particularly if he's chosen the wrong route. My husband and I would like to help but we aren't millionaires. I have tried to perhaps steer him in a slightly different direction because of the cost of the training but he's not falling for it

I have been told that his options would be limited if he went the modular route and that qualified pilots are having to pay for more training just to get a job!

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.
