First off, I am a Riddle Alum.

Sure, everyone at Riddle can't get the golden ticket, but the university leadership tells it's new and prospective students that is works with the industry to not only provide the best possible training but also to provide job opportunities.

This should be seen as a good news story for those that paid big bucks for a name. If you add in these 8 slots and a bridge program here and a paid internship there, before you know it a lot of Riddle students are getting some good industry exposure and amazing job options.

I'm not saying that you can not go to FIT, UND, Purdue, or your local FBO and pay a lot less for similar training and the same ratings. The individual needs to approach a program and evaluate what they are getting for the money. The biggest draw is if the individual is motivated by a program, feels confident they are getting what they are paying for, and sees that the university is making good on its recruiting ploys.
