Hey everyone, my first post on these forums, so my apologies if this is the wrong place to be posting this.

I have been seriously considering a carreer as a pilot for the last 6-7 years now, and it has really been the only thing I've wanted to do in life. I'm currently 16 and on my way to my PPL with ~25 hours logged (Solo XC already out of the way). I plan on getting as much certification as I can before I hit 18 and have to go off to college. And up until school began again I was having a lesson every to every-other day.

My question is what are some good aeronautical universities that I could go into? Are they like trade schools where I need to go to college first, or are they a college in themselves? I've been considering Embry-Riddle, but I've heard of several others and just want to get some opinions on what would be best. And after that, what entry-level jobs are there for new, young pilots? I know that you have to have a bunch of hours to get a job at an airline, but I don't really know how I'm going to get those hours.

I'm not really too familiar with the system or how the pilot circut works either, so if any of you can help clarify that would be
great.

EDIT - This is a repost, my fault for not looking. There aare many threads that already awnser my question. Mods can delete if they want...
