Thanks for the information guys I really appreciate it. Now I want to research the cost of flight schools vs. getting it done on my own (doing everything I can on my own that is).

Also I want to research the local flight schools in my area that are offering a gaurenteed instructing position on completion. I live in the Texas DFW area. Would any of you know of any schools in my area, or a website that has flight schools listed by area? I know I can search on all of the airports in my area, and call them directly to find out what flight schools each one has at their fbo, but I was hoping there might be a faster way.

Thanks all!
