Also plan on knocking out your cfi at local fbo near the college you attend right off the bat. Its cheaper and quicker than doing all that over the course of four years. If you play your cards right you could be a cfi by the time you're a sophomore. You can then instruct as a college job rather than as a graduate. Its also a lot of fun, I wound up giving aerobatic instruction and flying a C310 and a malibu mirage for a medical group in addition to the cfi job. Also flew a bunch in mexico and central america. Thats the route I went and was hired at a regional flying a jet 2 months before I graduated. Went to training a week after graduation. Don't bother with an aviation degree, its not gonna get you closer to your goal. Also don't forget about all the fun stuff to do at college. College is the best time of your life, do normal fun stuff like join a frat, hook up with lots of sorority girls and party like theres no tomorrow!
