I'm a firm believer in the phrase "If you love what you do you never have to work a day in your life" Granted it is not quite that easy, but you get the idea, I'm not here to advise if its worth it, the others have done well enough on that subject.

As far as cost, if you have a year in Iraq under your belt, you should qualify for the post 9/11 GI bill benefits. I'm using it and so far I have attained my commercial, CFI and CFII along with about 300 hours (45 of it Multi) in just the last year, and now have 4 private students using the same benefit.

If you earned it, use it! It is by far the BEST college program the military has ever come up with, which leads me to believe it won't last long! PM me if you want more details, it's hard to turn down a degree, your ratings and E-5 BAH while your in school!! Check out a few threads down "Any recent veterans attending flight school", there looks to be alot of Ch33 benefit info in that thread also...
