Im 23 years old, about to get my PPL. Always wanted to make aviation a career, But I am stuck. I want to attend the Community College of Beaver County near Pittsburgh, PA. The only thing is for 2 years it costs around $50,000 and I cannot get a loan to go. They give you your PPL all the way up through CFI is you want it. But my parents aren't willing to help with any kinds of costs. Wont cosign or anything like that. The way I got to where I am now in training is through Pilot Finance Inc. Im wondering is there anyway to get that loan for college? Or do I say screw it to college and just stick to pilot finance and try to get my ratings through them at the local airport? The only thing is pilot finance wants you to have half of your loan paid off before you can take out anymore financing (Once I get my PPL I'm going to have to wait a while before I can start my instrument). Anyone out there that can shed some light on the situation and steer me in the right direction as to what I can do to get my ratings done in the quickest, cheapest way possible? Also I must add to help you guys out, I make about $2000 a month at my full time job and have $1200 in bills I pay. and thats including my PPL finance payment I make now.

Thanks for the help!
