Type of medical?
I am a senior in high school and I am about 10 hours into my PPL training and will be heading to Western Michigan University next year with a degree in Aviation Flight Science. I will need my medical fairly soon, would it be wise to just get a third class so that I can solo or should I go for 1st or 2nd to see if I can at least work commercially as a pilot. What would be the pros and cons of doing one or the other and what tips/advice do you have regarding my medical certificate.
Thanks,
Nate

Get your first class/student initially and then maintain at least a 2nd class from here on out. While the differences are minimal between the various classes, you don't want to spend thousands of dollars to find out about a medical hiccup later.
