Well, I've put a lot of time and energy into becoming a meteorologist and I'm working at a pharmaceutical company!!

Now I'm $80k in debt with that... I don't really have money to become a pilot. It was almost like the deal with CTI, except it was my own college saying "YES! There are tons of openings for meteorologists!" "98% job placement rate!" (they WOULD say that!) and here I am (along with probably half the people I graduated with) working at a job totally unrelated to meteorology that we could've gotten coming in off the street with no degree (that incidentally pays more than being a meteorologist)

So, your post disheartens me. I don't want to be one of those people that blows off what other people say, but I don't really have much of a choice. If I can't work for the NTSB, being an Air Traffic Controller is second best. Better than what I'm doing now, anyway!
