Oh - Pell Grants and multiple jobs (usually more than one at a time) - so none the "rich kid" thing here either. I'd like to go one day without hearing from you about how worthless I was in the past or will be in the future.

Don't get me wrong. I too got a Aviation Degree and a business minor. Eventually I went back and finished the business degree. I worked several jobs and self funded my education as well. They did not have loans for flight training when I was in school. I had to pay as I went.
Aviation is still a poor educational choice though. Business helps you throughout your life in many ways. Other majors broaden your appreciation and understanding of our world. However being a pilot and having only an aviation degree leaves the pilot one a one trick pony. Not very interesting.
