You too, huh?? I even look at Facebook on my phone now. Between JC, Facebook, and LinkedIN - I waste a considerable amount of time online everyday!


Jake8078 - before you make any decisions, you may want to call Sallie Mae (or whoever you're going to use) and make sure that you can even get the financing for flight training before you commit to anything. My wife works in financial aid and Sallie Mae (and all of the others) aren't in the 'giving mood' that they were a few years ago. The requirements for non-title IV (private alternative loans) lending have tightened SIGNIFICANTLY and I'm afraid you may have a difficult time getting a loan for flight training - especially considering that you currently have no income and already have $45K in debt.
