It shouldn't take you four years to get to your CFI. You should have your CFI after two years, max, even in a college setting. I did a rating per semester. If you can't at MTSU then I would look elsewhere. Then you spend your last two years of college working as a CFI. Then you graduate with about 1000 hours and get a job with a 121 or 135 operator. I made 14K my first year so go ahead and apply for that student loan deferral as soon as you graduate. Keep your expenses and your debt low. Like any career, your pay will start low but unlike other careers you have guaranteed pay raises.

I agree with those who say shoot for the outfit that can give you the turbine PIC fastest. Who will that be in four years? Who knows?
