I was instructing at ERAU during my last couple years of college and after I graduated. Some people liked it, and some didn't. Some were cocky, some were humble. Some were American, and some were foreigh. JUST LIKE EVERYWHERE ELSE!!! Yes, Riddle isn't like the average state school with the football team and the other "perks". So? You should feel embarassed because you spent that money and you regret it. Makes you look dumb. I probably spent the same amount of money, but I don't regret going to Riddle. I don't regret the contacts, experiences, education and anything else I got that came from there. I loved instructing there until I wanted to leave. I didn't leave right after graduation because I liked what I was doing and instructed for a bit longer. Because I made the most of out it, I don't regret it. Make the best of it, or go complain to Jerry Springer and tell them it was your parent's fault for making you stay. Just like with EVERY other degree and EVERY other college.

I know just as many people who went to high school with me that later went to cheap state schools like Univ of FL or expensive schools like Yale and they complain just as much while they move back in with their parents after graduation. Only difference is that you live, and breath aviation and this school is just that....... aviation/aerospace only.

As for 3000 hr CFI.. nobody within 50 miles of Daytona thinks that 3000 hours in a SE airplane is hot stuff. Anyone thinking that is crazy. Some people are there that can't get a green card, others came back from the airlines and want to instruct. Some don't want to go to the airlines, so they stay.

My 2 cents......
