I'd like to apologize and I hope I didn't offend you. I had no intention to completely discredit the CCC system as I did, but I'm a Florida native and not quite used to new things I suppose. My former JC was extremely well organized and maintained, and in a sense, I'm probably spoiled and should look at the brighter side of things. Again, I apologize.

On the subject of schools, affordability is most prudent as you stated. I feel like I'm setting myself up for failure by studying a field that I'm not enthusiastic about (the main cause of problems for me in HS). Do I just need to grow a pair and do it anyways(get a degree in something else), or am I catastrophically damaging(or limiting) my future by getting a BS in aviation?


What about a major/minor program? I'm not sure exactly how this works in college, so I hope I'm not getting off topic, but could this be a solution?


I don't think I'm ready to dive into an ERAU financial fiasco, but I would think reputation is key in this industry(in terms of producing talented/well-strung pilots). Is it not? I frequently read people telling stories about 'half of the pilots I know being from here or there.' Is that just coincidence? I understand that flight experience is going to be the most crucial element, and not necessarily that ERAU is the leader in that category, but I'm looking to find that out your opinions/opinions of aviation employers on some of these schools or university aviation programs in general, primarily on UND.


I think I'm beginning to see the light, and I hope I'm not making you feel like you're talking to a wall. A lot of this stuff just seems illogical to me, but thats why I'm here!

I'll definitely take a look at Utah Valley in the meantime, and feel free to throw more of them at me!

Thanks for all of your help thus far!
