This is what's going to happen if I continued with the humanities major. Say I return back to college with my PPL. With a heavy courseload I won't be able to fly for more than once a week. By the time I graduate college with a B.S. I will have a PPL rating and a good loan to pay off. Then I won't be able to continue to fly. Rather I will probably be employed and use that money to pay off my student loans. That might take years! and by the time I get back to flying and get done with my rating it might take years and years. One of the main reasons I decided on this is because, while I work on my degree I will be "forced" to fly at least 3-4 times while doing something that I really enjoy. I might even get out with a CFI rating by the time I graduate. It sounds much better to me than my original plan.
