First of all, I am a senior in high school, and I am planning on going to UND starting in the fall of 2007. I plan on majoring in "Commercial Aviation." The reason I want to do this is because I love nearly all aspects of aviation, and I want to focus on it throughout college. I chose UND because there are lots of students there who aren't in any aviation program, so I wouldn't always be around aviation "geeks," like myself... That could be really lame.
I just have a few concerns about majoring in Commercial Aviation. 1) Would this major have any
negative effects on finding a good airline job in the future? 2) If you are a UND grad, is the program worth the money? And is it fun?
Thanks for any input you might have on this! I appreciate it so much!
