If you have some hustle anyone can raise that type of money.

When I worked retail in college, a coworker was able to get $150k together to lease a 737 and crew for a couple of trips. He was then able to leverage his girlfriend’s boss (travel agent) to get some trips to Aruba and some other island. He netted enough to pay for his tuition, which was the goal.

If you have hustle and unearned confidence and an existing reliable network, sure.


The conveniently skipped over "getting the initial 150k" is the part of your story that most likely contradicts "anyone can".
