first off.... the price tag man... its 40+ grand a year and climbing..
You will start out making 20 grand or less in the regionals..before that ull be an instructor making around the same...
Erau wont give you any valuable advantage.. a degree is really a degree. Get one thats cheaper, and stay away from aviation degrees! You want something you can fall back on incase you ever lose that medical, it can happen.
Heres one you can argue...but lifestyle my friend.. its important. I had the best time of my life while I was going to school at USF (6 to 1 girl to guy 35,000 + students) . Enjoy the college experience, you can fly outside of school and still do this. Embry riddle is a huge sausage fest, of course if your into that then theres nothing wrong with that.
