It has been an interesting conversation so far. As for the original conversation… I would say a master’s degree as compared to a bachelor’s degree will not matter when you are a low time pilot. I would put your money into the most economical FBO you can find. Get good CFIs for a fair price. Use whatever you have leftover to cover your first few years of low pay. Good luck in your endeavors.

About the veteran’s benefits…. As someone who has used their benefits; I do not have to be accountable to how I spend those benefits, Mr. Creepy. If I choose to spend them getting a Computer Engineering Degree or going through a 141 school you think is crap, it doesn’t matter. Yoda spelled out the ways veterans earned the rights, but in the end, they are my entitlements. End of Story. There are really great ways to use the VA benefits in the aviation world, and not so great ways, but no matter how you slice it, it is my choice.
