<prompt> Human: Okay so first of all Im in Egypt .. about 7 months ago my grandmother gave me 1m Egyptian pounds which is roughly about 125K so that I would be able to go a flight school next year and have enough money to get me through life .. I was 18 years old at the time .. so we went together and deposited it into my account, I have a bank account with full control over without need of a guardian .. not sure if thats possible in the US but a few banks here offer that and the other 90 require that you must be over 21 to open an account .. my grandmother had the money in CDs so she went and withdrawal them then we went to my bank and I deposited them in cash .. a few days later I got a call from the branch manager asking me if the money was from a property that I sold or something else and to just specify .. I explained that my grandmother gave me the money through her CDs and I asked him if I needed to go and present any sort of proof for that but he said no its fine and no more questions were asked .. so my question is .. when I finally travel next year .. will this be a problem of any sort when I go there? ... what worries me is that in the US if someone deposits more than 10k the IRS would be notified and its way different than here in Egypt .. so when I travel with that amount of money in my bank account when Im just 19 years old would that raise any suspicions and be a problem of any kind?Edit: Added the 21 years old part.Assistant: Well this shouldnt be a problem as any reputable flight school is 90k just for tuition, Riddle 140k...Dont forget room and board. That will only get you a few hundred hours, far short of what you need if you want to go the airline route. I would suggest getting in contact with a pilot in the career you want to be in airlineprivate businessetc and ask them what the best route is. Be careful with flight school, particularly in Florida. Many schools require you pay the entire tuition, then they go out of business leaving you with nothing.As someone who is in this career field and have aspiring student pilots constantly pull me aside to talk, I tell them the same thing. Choose a different career. Human: Im aiming for a 40K range school. As for choosing a different career, I wont be going the normal route people usually take. After having my licenses Ill be considering different things like becoming a flight dispatcher for example so that Id work in the same field while I look for an airline position over the months.Also I dont mind working at flight companies where they pay a lot less than good one as long as Im getting experience and basically free flight hours on my log book.Assistant: 40k, not going to happen. Last time I checked 125 per flight hour for rental, maybe 20 for an instructor. You need tons of ground school as well. A part 141 school is the way to go as it is very structured, whereas part 61 is more I have an airplane and can teach you some stuff. Either way, 40k is certainly not going to cut it. Flight Costs are significantly more than you would think, and this is a state school. This doesnt include ground school. If you go the private route 100k or more...Human: There are a lot of reputable flight schools in California and Florida that are well below 60K. Im not sure if they are part 141 or part 61 though. I dont want to start arguing on something I have no full knowledge about because you clearly have more experience than I do but from my research, emails with few flight school and a friend that went there and finished all the licenses, Im positive I could find ones in the range of 40-60k.  <response>: You might want to research the possibility of going to flight school in South Africa. It could be a lot more affordable.
