Thanks to everyone for such a quick response. Love the atmosphere here, everyone wants to see you succeed.
Bob you are very wise. Very true people buy $30K+ for a car and no one says anything, or take my sister, went to a 4 years school out of state and has way more student debt then ill ever have. What I'm starting to realize is that I better start working toward my dream full time. The first years will be rough and I will have to make sacrifices, but I'll be doing what I love.
Billy, ATP got me financed Through NextStudent. SallieMae didn't like me. You will have to take 2 courses Through UVSC in order to get the money for ATP. Its a backward way of getting financed. Plus, the flight training you get ATP can go toward your degree at UVSC. Not a bad deal in my opinion. The two classes they told me to take are "Air Traffic Control" and "Flight Physiology". I hold an AAS so I've transfered my credits over, basically all my Gen Eds are taken care of, just have to focus on the Aviation part. And you are right about NextStudent, very friendly and helpful with any question or problem you may have. The guy even told me he looks forward to seeing me in the skies.
I also told my boss today about my plan to goto ATP. He told me good luck and I'll always have a job with them if this doesn't work out.
Thanks again everyone!
Chris
