I'm a student from Canada. Money is an issue however and the nescessary financing isnt available. I've recently postponed my private pilot lessons due to insufficient funds. I've read a book by ex-airline pilot Robert P. Mark callled the Professional Pilot Career Guide, in which he recommends ERAU. I'm currently in talks with a company called NelNet in which theyd help finance me with about $140 000 USD. I just want to fly with a high-degree and get on. However, Im thinking about possibly heavy debt in that case. Any opinions? Should I go that route? Any other school in the states that I can attend that is just as good with good bachelor degree programs? ASU?
