Default Re: So, I'm changing my major to Aviation Mgmt...

Good choice switching to aviation management. I'm still indecided on whether or not I want to continue double majoring in that and commercial aviation. I'm so close to being done with commercial aviation, that I'm tempted to just graduate with that and continue on with the business major online.(not at UND) This is 80% what I'm gonna do. I decided to attempt this WAY late in my academic career here(junior year) and 21 credits the last 3 semesters including this one has burned me the hell out.

I'm in no way saying that you won't get there by not flight instructing, but I think a higher level of knowledge and skill is acquired more quickly if you flight instruct a little.

I agree though, that not everyone has to flight instruct and shouldn't if they don't truly want to.
maybe im just bent because i personally know im a horrible teacher and would probably lead to students having emotional issues or something!! hahaha

WTF WHY CANT YOU DO IT!!!! *SMACK*


haha, just my personality i suppose! i wouldnt wish for ANY poor soul to have me as a teacher!

Nah, I know what you mean.

My first few hours of dual given were ROUGH! That first short field landing I did with a real student was "slippery" if you catch my "drift".

How much longer would you have until graduation if you decided to continue on with the double major?

I have an appointment at the College of Business and Public Admin. on Friday. I gotta re-itterate that I'm really pumped about it.

It would have been most likely summer of 09. No way do I have the energy to continue the 21 credit per semester crap that I've done the last 2 years. If I continued doing that, I could probably get it done by spring of 09, but I'm getting pretty sick of school.

It'll be fine with me just continuing the business major online. Unless I lose my medical in two years. haha
