Well, I am/was sort of in your same situation. I did ATP this summer so i could come back to my university, instruct for them, and graduate in May, and off to the regionals. Instructing thing is kinda not going at all. But i'm STUCK here because of school, not flying. My advice would be to see if you can finish an online degree ( not one those stupid online ones, one that actually has resident students and an actual campus with sports teams... yada yada... but they offer a "distance Learning program" aka online classes)

****Be sure you can graduate without ever stepping foot on campu******* (otherwise there might be classes you HAVE to take ON campus, resulting in your attendance for a semester)

then go to ATP... turn around and instruct for em, off to the regionals in 5-6 months. <-- from starting the ACPP

My problem is that my last 2 classes for my major that i NEED... ONLY offered spring semester ON CAMPUS, once those are finished i still wont graduate, but i'll be enrolled through online classes (english, math, philosophy) during the summer while flying for a regional... sounds gravy, but i'm STUCK ON CAMPUS NOT FLYING!!!
