Miami Dade College, help please
So hello I'm in my seņior year, and I got it down to this so far, I just need help on which choice is better since most of you here are pilot's and have experience. Im trying to become a regional airline pilot at an early age and get everything out the way so I can hopefully level up to a major airline, later on in my future career.
Option 1- ERAU, accepted already Go to Erau at Daytona and do my flight training there. Con= 20k ( with all the financial aid I received) a year. Not including flight costs Option2- go to Miami Dade college which offer an 2yr associates degree in "Professional Pilot techonology" which is transferable to ERAU so after I complete my flight training over here in Miami I go to Erau just to finish my Bachelors degree Option3 - Go to FIU and get a degree in finance and do flight training at a local FBO/ flight school. <- the only thing I'm concerned about this is fitting Work, College work and the flight training all at the same time. Just wondering which one you guys think is better, and if you have any input/opinions In regard to this please tell me. Thank you very much |
my personal route (which is wish i did straight out of highschool) is going to ATP and getting through my ratings ASAP, my last checkride (comm single is april 25th). then using those towards a degree at utah valley or ERAU worldwide (online college where you can use your ratings for credits which is really nice). thats just my personal thing. i have a couple friends who did the same, one stopped going to ERAU and went to ATP just to do ERAU online after since you will save ALOT of money in the long run with that.

Basically, when you get your ratings, you can go into a college such as utah valley and then get so many credits (depending on how many ratings( ppl, ppl instrument, CSE , CME you have) for your ratings i think you usually get around 30-40? max you could get is when you have your ATP also, which is why i plan to do college once im on with a regional.
