While you're in student mode, you might want to search for a CLEP/credit opportunity at a school that can offer a better education.

Here's a twist on DIY:

I've thought of that. An aviation degree isn't particularly useful for other things, and I would like to broaden my horizons. However, changing majors would take even more time. The priority now is to get a job at the majors. Maybe a bit of a gamble given that if I can't fly I won't have anything to fall back on but I'll cross that bridge when I and if I come to it. Higher education has kinda become a money making racket unfortunately.
