I am like 2 lessons from solo now and I'm not exactly sure what I want to get for a degree in college, but from what I've heard, I shouldn't get an aviation related degree.
Off-topic..how many of you went to college for aviation?
I'm going to some aviation camp in July at UND. Can you get a non-aviation degree at an aviation college and get your ratings there? (or would it be wiser to go to a college for something completely different that interests me and go to a nearby FBO for training)
Your dad is right, once upon a time it was more than that. You're just going to have to make your own decision. Don't waste your money on UND, go to community college get your general requirements for dirt cheap, then transfer to a state university preferably and get a BS in something other than aviation.
