Here's what I'd highly suggest, is get that Masters outside the Tech department at Purdue. While doing this, get a CFI job over at LAF Av so you can actually earn some money, and keep flying(I think this is the most important factor)!!! Plus this can give you an opportunity to make some connections outside of Purdue(and keep your Purdue connections good also)

I wish I had gotten a 2nd bachelors or something of that nature during my time at Purdue also, but I didn't and I can tell you unless I absolutely have to, I will never go back to any college(and I'm only 27). If I could do it all over again, I would've combined a management degree or some sort of business degree into my curriculum.
