Get your ratings, get flying, and do your school online.

Spartan is garbage...that's why the Feds don't even cover them under the GI Bill any longer.

Now, to people who say "don't get a degree in aviation", I say to them "who cares". They're clearly not in HR. Jobs don't care what your degree is in. It's just a box to check. Now, with that said..it's incumbent on you to diversify yourself and further your education. I have a B.A. in International Relations. I'm a cop. The only thing my degree was ever used for is good trivia, and I can write really well. It gets you to step in the door...it doesn't necessarily guarantee success. Unless you have a degree in engineering/archiecture/medical/law...it doesn't matter if you get it in basket weaving. Just get it to fulfill the requirements.

I'm back in school after 14 years, at Liberty University getting a B.S. in Aviation. They transferred in 90% of my degree. So all I do is flight training and a nonsense class here and there. You have options. I say get the degree (do it online so when you're at the regionals you can finish it) or if you can get a lot of your classes transferred in, you can get the R-ATP (1000 hours or 1250 for associates).
