Not sure I'm happy for taxes to be paying for someone to "follow a dream" unless that dream is going to contribute to a real need in society.

Apart from people in the medical field, I'm struggling to think of any other training I want to subsidise...particularly if it means my business is subsidising a competitor who will lure away potential customers with the Great Lie about a "looming pilot shortage" (I remember hearing that back in the 80s and it's still not true) and then go broke, endangering those remaining operators who still have enough ethics not to use gullible students as a ponzi scheme and had the sense to stay away from those kind of contracts in the first place.
