Just have a back up plan and try to find a whole lot less expensive aviation university. If it were me, I would look toward a degree in business administration, all around good degree or something else you may like. Aviation is the best industry I have ever been in, but when the feces hits the fan, it gets really bad really fast. I love flying, but the realities of today force me to look at my back up plan which is bidding on city/county contracts anything from painting to demolition work to providing floor mats at goverment buildings to lawn care. (I know a guy who got paid $45,000.00 for a 3 month contract just to cut grass at county owned properties.)- and they pay extremely well, provided your the sucessful bidder.
