[ QUOTE ]
I am a full-time college student and only work part time, but I'm always planning ahead. I know that ATP has financing, but that won't do me much good for a while.

My plan is to graduate and work full-time ( who knows where ) and live with parents. I can be very tight when I want something enough like flying as a career. Obviouslly I would not get approved for a loan at my age and salary.

Sounds like my situation, and I am planning to do the same thing. If you're in school you qualify for Stafford loans, which are Federal low interest loans that you can get no matter what your credit is. You can only take out a little at a time, but if you do it every semester and save the money that comes to you by the time you graduate you may have a good chunk of the $$ you'll need. Debt really sucks though.

You should also consider Ari-Ben or Skymates. They are cheaper and offer programs similar to ATP's.
