I had an airplane that I had to sacrifice for graduate school 4 years
ago. Now finish and looking to get back in the game, I find local
avgas prices in my area range from over $6 to over $7!!! (Up from
$2.30).

I know the price of gas has gone up but man, those increases have been
amplified in aviation. It looks like I am going to have to take up
sailboating instead.

Isn't a graduate degree supposed to provide enough additional income to
compensate?
