I was going down the same road as you. Was all set to go down to Slimeville Florida till I found Doug's site here. Instead, I worked to save up for flight training and did it the cheap way. Still owe tons of money for the flight training but it could have been a WHOLE lot worse had I done the DCA thing.
My college education could have easily cost over $100,000 but if you are able to work the system, you can get it for a quarter of the price pretty easily. On graduation day, I didn't owe anyone anything. It did take 6 years for college but I had about $600 in my bank account that I could keep.
Had I been in debt at all after college, there is no way I could have done this thing without winning the lottery. Now the CFI road is proving to be pretty long for me but I am enjoying it.
