Heaven knows, being a pilot is an awesome responsibility. Going through college not only makes you much more competative in the field, it will be something that will benefit you throughout your aviation career. If all you know how to do is fly, and you haven't gone through the college experience, you are at a serious disadvantage... bottom line. | You forgot figuring out how many beers you can drink and still be functional the next morning.
