<prompt> Human: I have about 150hr of Flight time as a Private pilot. Im looking to get my CFI Flight Instructor rating by my 21st birthday to start doing what i love professionally. I attend a flight program at a local college, and the latest price hikes would put the total cost of this program well over 80,000 dollars, with a commercial rating, but no CFI, and 1300 hours short of flying in the Airlines. My local flight school put together a quote of finishing my ratings by summer. From the local flight school, it would cost me roughly 25,000 dollars to do. Not bad at all for flying! Now i have about 10k in debt between school, credit cards, truck and such. I spend a lot of time studying and only bring in about 2k per month right now. Soon the semester will be over and i can work more to bring in 2500-4000. The biggest issue here is that i dont know anyone that is willing to loan a 20 year old guy 25k to finish flight school and live his dream. Is there anyone that does this? Ive looked into many private student loan options and none of them like the idea of loaning that much to someone with such a short credit history. Please help me out! Not sure if im going about this the right way to obtain funds, but im looking for options!  <response>: Upvoted so hopefully others see. I know there are some pilots on this sub. I just know youre not going to get a traditional student loan. Also I know the starting salary is low so youre gonna have a tough time getting those loans paid back. This may be a work a year to pay a year situation
