Remember, if you want to pursue a professional flying career, it is still a GREAT option to go to a traditional four year state school, get a degree outside of aviation, and do your flight training at a local FBO.

A lot of rumblings lately with ATP, their association to Mountain State and that school loosing their accreditation, as well as a lot of summer 'this is my plan, what do you think?' postings lately and I wanted to remind everyone of a simpler way of looking at things.

Enjoy the journey!

First year pay doesn't care if you went to Embry-Riddle, or Bumblefrak State. ;)

Who actually cares if someone went to an aviation school? Honest questions, has anyone ever been turned down an aviation job because they have a 4year degree but not from one of the big aviation schools?
 
I would argue that having a four year degree OUTSIDE of one of the big aviation schools actually helps you out in the career.

I blow the general public's collective mind when they ask where I studied.
 
But aviation schools are more fun. I don't have to spend years learning something I don't care about just to tick off the degree mark on my application.

Your Degree is more than just what you learn about in class.

State School...

Or if you want to go to an Aviation Related School (all below went to 'The Harvard of the Skies', except the gentleman with the Fedora, BUT he did go to a sausage fest type of school :))...

Nicely done

I recommend the University of Qutch.

We have a great flag football program.

A degree from the University of Qutch can really open doors.

IMO, want to fly? Go to a regular school, use one of the ROTC programs and let the military pay for your flight training...and school too.

Worked for me! They also give you pizza & beer money every month (never lasted me more than a weekend, YMMV)
 
True story bro. If you like hanging out with dudes around a bonfire in the woods where there's a 10:1 guy:girl ratio, Riddles your place.
