And also would you recommend to do the Flight School while in College or would you say I should do it afterwards.

And also, I have the German citizenship, my dream would it be to fly for Lufthansa, so my question is it, are the Ratings like A320 and everything when I get it at Jetblue (for example) also valid in Germany? Because I have been talking to a pilot who was from Serbia and took all his Type Ratings here, but they weren't anything worth in his home country, he had to do them again at home. Does anyone know anything about that?

Sorry for my relatively bad english, I just moved to NY few months ago. :P
