Go to a state college, I'm currently going to California State University Long Beach and only pay $1,432 a semester. It is a great school, and only a couple of blocks from Long Beach Airport. The airport alone has a bunch of flight schools, including ATP, Flight Safetly, and a bunch of FBO's. If your really poor, and file FAFSA, the gov. will give you a grant that will pay for the whole thing, if your not that poor, you can easily work and pay those 1432. The trick is being off debt. Find a way.
