Re: Military or Civilian?? To the OP regarding selection of major:
I'd be curious to know why "the guy you're talking to" disapproves of sport mgmt and instead suggests a business major. Whichever major you select, I suggest working in a related field while you earn the degree. This way you will have work experience to accompany your degree should you apply for jobs related to your major upon completing college. YMMV, but a business degree can be so broad that it does little for you as far as getting a job out of college unless you have related work experience. IMHO, you're on the right track with the Physical Training degree and working as a trainer while you attend college.
Example:
While I was earning my Parks and Rec degree I worked part-time at the local rec center doing various pool jobs(guarding, teaching lessons, managing, pump room ops). During my last year of college, on two separate occasions, my supervisor strongly encouraged me to apply for full-time positions. The second time I applied I received a job offer. Keep in mind, Parks and Rec has always been my "back up", but I'd be happy with it if I was no longer able to fly(ie. health issues). I graduate in two two weeks and I'll be pursuing my Commercial and CFI . I'd say that my backup plan has worked out well so far.
