Finish the year you have left at School, then if you want to go to ATP, or to the mainland to get your certificates you can. At the same time you could be using your degree to use. They are risk, and sacrifices you have to make, everyone has to pay their dues but dont jeopardize a degree, based on others people comments. I read that the avg airline pilot is furloughed or cut twice to three times in his career. What will you do in the meantime?
