A New Perspective

So, this is probably going to have no point, but I'd just like to say that for what its worth, and i'm sure most of you from UND already know, that what you learn while at UND is quite a comprehensive education. I spent four years up there getting my education in aviation management and got through CFI. I'm now in Florida training at an academy, and find that und did a great job, especially in the ground school training. There are many similarities but be glad for gps, autopilot in seminoles, and air traffic controllers who can hold their own. (yes, they have their days but they are pros compared to the numb nuts that get flustered with a good three airplanes in the pattern here) Oh yeah, and for as much as it sucked going through applied calc (twice), and those history classes, and crappy business classes, it was a nice escape from aviation. It may take a bit longer to go through the system up there but from what i can see taking your time really pays off. So now i have completed CFII down here and sometimes wish i had done it up there (if it weren't for this good internship op down here!) and who thought grand forks would have more to do than a town called vero beach??? ok, enough of my soap box time. and this isn't to say where i'm at is a bad place at all, or that und was the only place to get a good education, that was just my view point now that i got out of the und bubble!

I give you props to this thread. Finally someone doesn't start a thread about how much Grand Forks sucks compared to where they're from or one about how much they hate the very school they attend. I assume you had a life outside of aviation and went to a hockey game of two. It's too bad all the others don't do the same.
