Shane, sorry to be so blunt but why in the hell would you forgo college and start your career at 19?!! I love flying and it has been my dream for a long time as well but i would not give up all the fun i am having in college. Plus, you dont think it's gonna suck to have to go back to school in the middle of your career? I mean I know ive heard of a few majors such as CAL who dont require a 4-year degree, but ive heard that your chances are slim to none unless you have some serious connections. Dont get me wrong, I admire your hard work, but buddy, you dont want to be lookin back when you are forty saying "Damn, i missed the late-night parties, sleepin in everyday, and all the ladies."
