This may be the best advice I have ever heard on this forum. Bottom line, go to a college and not an FBO, you'll walk away with a degree and be much more than just a pilot. I did exactly what oktex88 is suggesting and double majored in commercial aviation and aviation management. Although I never thought I'd use the management degree because I wanted to fly, it ended up saving me when the airlines weren't hiring and I am making a lot of money right now while considering going back to fly. And believe me, a business degree will allow you to do just about any kind of job that pays a decent salary, whereas a pilots license will allow you to do one thing. Take this advice and run with it.
