Let me know if you want some more insight into this recommendation.
Now I know this is gonna sound crazy but no i have no plans of transferring to a 4 year college. My real plans are to get my cfi so I can teach (career cfi). If I was to transfer to a 4 year college I would most likely get a teaching degree anyway. My second career choice is to be a school teacher. I can say i truly enjoy teaching other people, when I worked for Aol and geico i was a head trainer and after having those two jobs really made me want to be a school teacher. Also the really good cfi's demand about 75 to 100 per hour, I can't say whether I would be a good one or not but its not about money when i comes to teaching these days.
On a side note im in my early 30's and have a family going to a four year college would be very difficult for me.
