Default Close to college graduation, Now what?

Im about to graduate from college this spring with a degree in aviation management. Its always been my desire to be a professional pilot but couldn't afford to get a degree and fly. before college i got my private and started into my IFR.

I want to fast track to finish my IFR, Multi and Commercial, so I can get out and start to build time.

Can anyone suggest some good places to do this at, maybe one with a job placement.

I am just about to graduate with a degree in aviation. My plans are to continue my education and also get a useful degree, perhaps an MBA or a JD degree.

Seriously, in your position, you just need to go get ratings, so I would go to All ATP. You can get them done fast, and you won't be lacking in multi time.

What ive been told about ATP is that they're an ok school. they do it fast but your not going to get any better instruction then a local FBO plus when i price them against others they cost at least twice as much.

I know i need the ratings Im just looking for a place to get them. Cheep fast ad gppd with en emphasis on the good and cheep

ATP will be an emphasis on fast. Not good and cheep. For good and cheep, find an FBO with fair prices and an instructor that you really like and learn from well. Most FBOs will work out a fast track program if you need one.

Remember, if someone isn't even smart enough to know what communism is, they probably don't know much about other stuff either.
