Default Looking for Advice

Hey guys,

I want to be a pilot, and am currently making my way through lower level college. I've read through the website that details what the airline industry is really like, and I want to work through it. I'm single, 26, and an Army veteran. I have about 24 months left on my GI bill (was making my way to engineering, but I would much rather fly), and am currently living in Houston.

My real question is how much it matters where I get my pilot's license or degree. Do I see any real advantage in dealing with the price tag of Embry-Riddle versus a smaller level college, such as LeTourneau? Or getting my pilot's license at a flight school and transferring into a college for the Aeronautical Sciences or Aeronautics degrees?

And if anyone has any information on other veteran programs such as Hazlewood or Yellow Ribbon program, I would greatly appreciate it.

Just sort of overwhelmed with all the different options and curious as to what my best bets are.
