There are a ton of student instructors at OU looking for hours that would be more than happy to teach your son to fly.

Have him fly his ass off. Get his CFI as soon as possible (before your multi engine) so you can start flying and getting paid for it.

I don't think any potential employer is going to overlook you for a pilot position because your Bachelor's degree is in a non-aviation field.

AGREED 100%!!! Shop around!! for a small fbo flight school, or even cheaper, go with the suggestion of buying a small single engine and flying the heck out of it! Still ends up MUCH cheaper than any big flight school!
