I am pretty much in the same boat as you. I am looking at all those colleges, Embry, UND, Purdue, Parks. What you are probably going to find on this forum is that people almost unanimously favor an FBO training and a degree in something else. This is because it is good to have a fallback if you get furloughed or cant even find a job with a regional. Another option I have been looking into is going to a school with Aviation, majoring in something else and getting a minor in proffesional flight.
Also, I live in Colorado and know a lot of people who went or currently go to Air Force Academy, and all agree that it is a fairly sucky environment, plus you are not guranteed a pilot slot. |

:\ | Do you plan on being in business or management? I understand the idea of a fall back, but why have one in a career field you're uninterested in? It sounds like you're very interested in sports medicine and training, so do that. You can't just look at it from a dollar perspective, you get one life and this is it. If you want money, get an MBA, work for a large company, max your 401(k) and put your savings in a large spread of index funds. Simple. It doesn't seem to me like that's what you want to do. How about instead of that you become an airline pilot who is also a sports expert. | |
