Which path to take...
I am a recent graduate with a B.S. in Criminal Justice, and I am looking for a little input or advice on what path I should take. My goal is to serve in the ANG as a pilot, and I have two options that I am weighing. One option is to go to a flight school, and spend a lot of money to get more ratings and hours (I currently have a PPL w/ about 60hrs) and keep applying to different ANG units. The other option for me is to accept a job as a highway patrol officer and continue to fly a little on the side. I would be making pretty good money working as a highway patrol officer and I would still be applying to different ANG units. Im not sure what would look better for the ANG units, having several hundred hours of flying with all the ratings from the flight school, or maybe a 100 or so hours but working for the highway patrol? I graduated with a 3.5 gpa and I do have a lot of volunteering hours. Any advice, input or recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.
