Thank you all for the input! I'm currently enrolled at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and I'm about 3/4 through my bachelors degree. So I think that will help. I'm on board on getting the commercial License ASAP. I'm using King schools course, It helped tremendously with my instrument. So It looks like commercial, then multi, then CFI. Does that sound about right? When I get the commercial, I think I'll look into getting a gig like flying mail or something like that. someone mentioned if I get offered to get a type rating, take it? Does it just happen like that? Someone just says "hey, you wanna get a type rating in this aircraft"? You all are being awesome answering all these remedial questions, so thank you!

And, if you get offered an ATP type ride, take it. Sometimes, CAE or FS will do this for seat seaters.

I agree. No CFI rating required either.

Use your Post 911 GI Bill benefits. Get an aviation degree at a part 141 school that includes flight training as part of the degree. Everything after your private certificate will be covered 100% if you go this route. You will still have to get the hours after training to get to ATP or R-ATP mins though.

Under the post 911 GI Bill, the classes and the flying are both covered as long as the flying is part of the degree. IOW, you can’t use it to build time, only to complete a course that’s required for your specific degree.
