Once again, I went to Louisiana Tech University, finished a year early, anyone who wants to be an instructor can be, the amount of hours you get is based on how much you want to work, I did one and a half years will still an undergrad in school and got over 260 before my CFI, 600 dual given, more then 100 glass, and over 50 multi. Many small jobs are in the area for interested people (c-210,be-55,be-200,c-172,and A-36 beech). School is great, alumni (over 50 of them from all walks of life) come back to school once a year for a meet-and-greet with new students, SIM/Airplanes are top notch, and it is CHEAP (compared to other flt schools)! Plus, as mentioned already, cajun girls rock, I picked up one while attending school there, wife/possible first ex-wife (AIDS, Aviation induced divorce syndrome).
