Just curious...If you already have a BS, why are you going back for an aviation degree anyway? Work on the flight portion.
I've only gotten the AAS so far. The main reason I was going to attend college was for the government assistance. I'm going to turn down the assistance and just pay hour by hour as you mentioned. I have a co-worker starting on his second year at college. The second year is when he gets his instructor cert. Might just hire him when he completes.
I worked at a grocery store for 7 years and seen plenty of government freeloaders. There would be people who would get their monthly food allowance and buy whole ribeyes and beef tenderloins. I wasn't saying that I was wanting a free ride. Okay, I guess maybe I was hoping that I would. It just angers me that there are so many people abusing it, and so many people who "deserve" it are turned down.
