USMC-Sgt -> DO it and don't wait... I just finished my degree fully paid for by uncle Sam, and the housing allowance was VERY nice. Even if you go part time, you can still get some of the housing benefits... DONT DELAY!! I wish I hadnt...

I went to Southeastern Oklahoma State University. It is a regular university with an aviation program. The chair of the department is former military and the flight department is very structured. The washout rate is probably a little higher than other schools, but I believe it's a result of very good training and high performance demands. The cost was the cheapest in the country when I went. It also has a very active aviation alumni association that meets at least once a year to network with students and help our fellow alumni out. PM me for info. I can get you in contact with some people.

A.A. from Palomar Community College then transferred ----> Southern Illinois University (off campus program) = about $10,000 TOTAL for a B.S. Degree - get all your ratings at the "local" flight school, SKIP the pretentious "Aviation Dork" Universities and take alllllll that fricken money you're gonna save and purchase a home, or a girlfriend, if you fit that "aviation dork" mold. Good Luck.

Fit 05 here.... I got a paid internship with JetBlue in Fort Lauderdale between my junior and senior year. Not sure what job placement is like these days but I know a lot of instructors just got hired at mesaba and eagle. I liked FIT a lot.... I'm in Hawaii with a bunch of my old Fraternity Brothers right now reminiscing about how much fun we had!
