Sounds like a lot of money but in reality is a lot less then a yr in college.

True, good point. If they have financing even better. 20k liquid to come out making 40k is a little scary though. If he's interested in it, and has the ability to do so, I say do it. If nothing else, it will be an experience! I didn't realize they had schools like this, I suppose of course they would. Just figured people did it and worked up the ladder. That's how I did it (although I'm not in that industry anymore).

Here? $15/ hour to start. Union $25 - $30

I don't know how the cost of living compares here to there but in Ontario min. wage is $14 and going to $15 next year. You could clear tables in a restaurant for the same money and not need to spend the money on a course.
