Sadly as much as I would love to get the GI Bill pay for a degree and flying, My current location does not offer any programs like that. So for now I get a regular BS Degree to check the box.

For me as much as I want to fly i'm ok with just working in the aircraft side just not sure what types of jobs/careers would allow it besides the obvious A/P type positions which once again take schooling i don't have readily accessible too

Geographically I am looking for the Central Ohio area. Grew up and have family there which helps my wife and kids while I'm out chasing the dream. Looked into NetJets Desk jobs, Republic Airways, Port Columbus, all as possible employers. NetJets well HR there is no mystery as to how that worked for me.

Thanks again for the help guys. Like I said it does not have to be a Cockpit gig. Just something more aircraft related
