USU can be a great college experience, maybe not your flight experience. If I could, and perhaps more so because of a possible medical issue, look into their amazing college of engineering. If this bet (and it really is an issue of timing and luck, like many bets) doesn't work in your favor, you are a mechanical engineer with an emphasis in petroleum, a very lucrative career. AND, you can still be a professional pilot.

meh, what do I know.
