You people focus too much on quality of training. Don't. The FAA standard is all you need to train to and fly to on a daily basis. Get your ratings as quickly as possible so you can get a seniority number. Don't worry about quality of training unless you're getting ready to start military flight training.Thats when you'll need to excel daily. Otherwise, take it easy , buy a nice watch, and get use to enjoying beer and slacking for a living. From what I understand the level of automation in a airplane these days requires little more than programming / coordination w/ dispatch and mx skills.

I'm not talking about the literal button you press to key the mike rather the button you press to solve the emergency...because it is all automated these days.

I graduated from a State University about a year ago. I owe about 100 grand and feel that I ****ed it away on a name. If I had to do it over again I would have majored in aviation maintenace and than flown at a local FBO to pick up my ratings. To think in the same time I could have picked up my A&P plus my commercial makes me crap, but will make you more knowledgable and hopefully worth more. 
Hope my opinion helps! and if you have any questions feel free to pm!

Wow, reading this thread sure opened up a few more questions on my end. Sorry if my asking questions here comes off as thread hijacking. But reading all these posts spurs further thought into my career path.
I've got a BS in technical management from DeVry University. 4.0! And, the military paid for it all. So now, I'm thinking of leaving the military to pursue aviation. I'm currently taking private pilot lessons. Would I be better served to go so such a school such as DCA for further ratings? Or stay at an FBO? My goal is to join an airline.

Ooops! I guess it's too bad you can't aviate because...you guessed it, you didn't want to get any quality training.
