I spent ~$35k on flight training and related expenses, and really didn't find it hard at all. Little bit of time, but nothing like lawyers and doctors go through. Doctors and lawyers don't start out very high up the money making food chain either.
"Junior paralegals with
two to three years' experience at small law firms are projected to earn average annual starting salaries ranging from $27,500 to $35,500, according to Robert Half International Inc."
Doctors start out in the 30-50k range, and have 100-150k of debt.
Oh yeah, both those starting lawyers and doctors will be working WAY harder than I am.
