$101,500 compared to $104,000 is not a real big difference.

I think you are missing my point. I'm saying pay for the ratings when you have the money (ie don't try to fly while going to school, wait until you graduate and are making good money with that non avaition degree).

I love a lot of things, but love doesn't pay the bills. Good luck, with the gamble you're taking you're gonna need it.

You made a wise choice, I'm sure things will work out for you. Keep the shiny side up.
