University of Texas, business degree. Paid in state tuition which was cheap in the early 90s. Part 61 flight training with small flight schools when I had the cash saved up for a certificate or rating.

I'm at Eastern Kentucky University right now. Getting a degree in Aerospace Management with a minor in Professional Flight. Looking back I should have gone for another degree as a back up plan but it is a bit too late now.

B.A.- University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, 1989 (History, German and Military Science)

M.A.- University of Wisconsin River Falls, 1991 (History)

M.S.- University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, 2008 (Natural Resources and Environmental Law Enforcement)

Also worked in the National Guard for 9 years, United Feeder Service, Central Wisconsin Aviation, Mesaba, L.T.E sheriff work, American Eagle, Air Wisconsin, Phoenix Air Transport and now Chautauqua (plus various other part time jobs).

RAH is going well now. I'm based where I want. But, it doesn't hurt to be well rounded and have a back up plan. At least have a secondary source of income! Two master's degrees is over kill (I like research), but I've always been a big believer that you should have a bachelor's degree in something outside of aviation.

That's a good point right there. I want to go for an aviation management degree. That way I can always fall back to the business side of aviation if flying doesn't work out as planned. Plus I find the business world very interesting too. I don't think I would ever go for a "pro pilot" only major.

Kent State University. I liked it, but wished I would have majored in something other than Aviation. Good school, good equipment and met some great friends there. We've built a nice Alumni network there and it keeps growing.
