Default GI Bill

I had originally planned on using the GI bill and Marine Corps College fund for flight training. But the VA only pays 60% of the minimum times required under part 141. By enrolling in College I recieve $1300 per month. After doing the math, I will recieve more money if it is used toward a bachellor's degree. Also, it is a pain in the a$$ trying to find someone that knows what is going on when it comes to fllight training, but most colleges are pretty experienced. While attending classes at Embry-Riddle's extended campus, I still make about 15-20 dollars per hour after paying for my classes and books. While I was instructing the GI bill was my biggest source of income.
