Not trying to be mean , just trying to be real.
I couldn't agree more. I'm 75K in the hole with a BS aviation management and an aas aviation flight (that i can pretty much use as toilet paper). got out of school, got a flying job, got furloughed. the truth is, i don't know how to do anything else but fly an airplane. i should have trained at an FBO and gotten a degree that is useful in numerous fields. it would have saved me a ton of money as well. interest on my student loans is racking itself up as i type this.
*maybe if flying would have stayed a hobby, i wouldn't resent the industry so ******* much.
