Alright everyone,
Here's the deal. I'm 17, and have just entered the cross country phase of my training. As you all know, now i'm paying more each time i go up, because each flight is longer. I work at a local FBO on the weekends, but with other expenses such as gas, dates, etc. i find myself saving a few weeks every time i wanna fly. At this rate, ill be 19 or 20 before i get my ticket. I work my butt off, 7 days a week in the summer, and during the school year, i do anything. Shoveling, yardwork, you name it. But it still doesnt balance out. I've done a search for scholarships and stuff, but it seems, at least from what i've found, that at this point, it's to late to hop on one of those. I'm in NH if that helps any...im willing to work, i'm hungry to fly..... how do you all go about paying for your training?
