I am fortunate enough to consider money to not be an issue due to scholarships. Please consider that in your advice. That still means I would like to get a useful degree, and I don't know if aviation is a useful degree.

1. Indiana State University - get all of my ratings and instruct for the school in the four years I am there - gain an aviation degree
2. Indiana University - gain a business degree, most likely accounting, go for my CPA, then fly after I get my degree. I would probably go the ATP, AF, or mom and pop flight route
3. Embry Riddle - same circumstances as Indiana State

Any advice would be much appreciated.
