Tristan:

I'll keep it simple:

Go to college & complete BS/BA degree requirements. I would recommend that you major in Accounting, Hospitality Mgmt; Electrical Engineering or BioMeds coupled with an ROTC program if you're able. Do not major in Aviation.

My reason for saying that is although I graduated from ERAU and my degree has served me well, I recently looked at the per semester cost @ ERAU and it is $42,000....which includes tuition, room & board; and textbooks. It normally takes 8-10 semesters to graduate given an average of 15 credit hours per semester. Do the math!

I paid less than 25K for a total of 4 years at ERAU...however, I finished back in December '87.
