No I did, got my A.A.S. I was going to attend Drexel University for my B.S. once I got a job in the field (Information Technology) so they would help me pay for it... But my first IT related job out of college was a nightmare, so that plan got held up. I had to get out, so didn't want to commit to school and have to be stuck there to pay for it... Once I got my second IT job (where I'm at now) all of the sudden aviation became an actual possibility. (I actually started making enough money to earn my private pilot license.) And so I did. That created my aspiration to become an airline pilot.

I worked 2 jobs while completing my Associates. I was a restaurant manager, and an auto mechanic...

I learned more at all of my jobs than any school could ever teach me. But I guess I don't know how to appreciate things according to iahflyr.
