I suppose, to summarize, spending a lot of money for an ERAU education isn't financially practical when a less expensive path to a degree can be achieved. Believing ERAU also has aerospace engineering in their curriculum, options for finding a good job is as competitive for ERAU grads as anyone else.

. . .in a national newspaper within the past month, I read an article of east coast colleges graduating students with debts over $100K. I can't see my going to a school and having to pay so much even with the significant name recognition as a Yale, Harvard, Purdue, Stanford, or an ERAU. I've had many conversations with others about name recognition and the quality of the education received as in someone with 4.0 GPA from say Texas A&M competing with a 2.0 and "go" GPA from say. . .Harvard. Are they any smarter? I don't think so, for afterwards, both have to find a job. Secondly, one enters the workforce more significantly in debt than the other. Makes no sense.
