I'm 35 have a BA and MS but looking to become a pilot. I work at a junior college that is 141 approved and I could get all my certs with tuition assistance for about $25000-30000 in a 5 semester program.
Have looked at Mesa, Pan Am, FSI but would all require I quit job, move family, and live like a pauper but would be done sooner (maybe) at a higher cost, but get training directed at joining a regional.
My thought is that either way I go I'm looking at trying to get a CFI job and pay my dues before getting on with regional. So, I should keep my job, work on licenses here at the college and then hopefully when done get a CFI job.
Suggestions? Opinions?
