But here's a piece of free advice. (Worth what you paid for it, I know) When you go to college, get a degree in something totally unrelated to aviation. IMHO, ERAU is a total waste of time and money. Take it for what it is worth.
(I have an architecture degree, and furlough was never a real big concern because I could always find a job doing something else)
Oh, and three other words to think about: Air National Guard. Look into it.
This is exactly what I was coming on here this AM to post. If you want to go to ERAU, get a degree in business. Their MBA is does not have the highest certification, but people get hired with it all of the time. I would not get a meteorology degree, unless you wanna continue your studies at one of the top universities for an advanced meteorology degree. You need a good backup. Medicals are revoked and depending on where you are in your career at the time of the event, disability may not cover your basic needs.
