Hello all,
My name is Tony, "not that that's important" I'm new to the forums, and I am so blessed landing here "no pun intended" :laff: randomly, and I'm sure you all are a great bunch of guys/girls who are all professionals in your fields.
I moved to Forsyth Missouri with my mom and sister, from Montreal Canada. I graduated from college with an communications major in Montreal, and i have decided to take advantage of my dual citizenship to work and continue my education here in the United States.
I have always been fascinated by aviation since my early toddler years, and I feel now is the time I take my boyhood fantasy to make it a reality. I have all the tools available at my disposal to do so, "an university fund started for me years ago," and I have the drive and ambition to make it work for myself.
I began to research, looking into universities in the midwest that i could go to. At first i was looking into schools or institutions that were close to home, so that i wouln't have far to travel and that i could save money by living off campus. But the closest schools to me are "Spartan college, and a school in florida." I read some online testimonials of the alumni from spartan college, and they all said the same thing, "basically its not a good school."
Then i spoke with a family friend who has been in the Aircraft maintenance industry after nam, and he told me after he got out of the green Barret he went to "Westwood college," and paid about $8,000 for an Airframe and powerplant course.
So the schools that i have looked at are TulsaTech, Spartan college, Westwood"redstone," anda few others.
most of the private schools cost bout $35,000 each to complete the programs, and i believe tulsa tech is bout half that.
I'm not rich at all, im just looking into pursuing a career as an A&P aircraft maintenance technicien, and im wondering if any of you would have some detailed information for me on any institutions/universities/colleges that i could work towards an degree, associates degree, for an affordable cost. like is there a difference going to a community college, is it the same degree?
eventually i'd like to be a pilot, but i want to start as a mechanic,(help me pay for pilots license)
i really need help on this..
thank you all if u take the time to help me out.
1)do u know of any colleges near,around, or in the midwest that are reputable institutions for their aircraft maintenance,avionics, etc. programs?
2)affordable even after financial aid is given.
3) any other miscellaneous information, i should know "past personal experiences," where u got your degrees...
