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.
Interesting, and very nice job working the system.
My circumstances are a little bit different, so I will still be using the GI Bill to offset my advanced training while I utilize my HOPE scholarship from the state of GA to finish my undergrad degree in political science.
