I know that now I have a degree that is non-aviation to fall back on if things go south with aviation. I know it is one of those things that if I never try I will wish I had. By the way, I have 0 hours. No ppl or anything. I have flown before and loved it. Anyway, my question is I am about 98% sure I'm going to pursue this, but do I need to start now (i.e. quit grad school) or wait until I get my M.S. and then do it? Oh yeah, the M.S. is costing me about $15000 a semester and I have 2 semesters left (a 3 semester program). I am 23 years old and will be 24 when I finish if I stick it out. Thanks in advance!
