How is it that I am whinnig? I went to riddle and graduated with 3.8 GPA. I started working at Xjet a year after graduation... I gues that's not that good for some of you but I consider this a success. The fact reamins that ERAU had nothing to do with that because most of people in my training class never attended that ******** school. Maybe an internship thorugh riddle can get you a job a little quicker but I am really not all that convinced that it's worth all that cash...

so many of the 3000 hr pilots want to leave but can't. also riddle probaly has the only flight instructor union. not everyone wants to go to the airlines, they want to got fly corporate, so they stay and get there multi time up and total time as well and may even get there ATP then apply to the corporate world. also riddle has some of the best benifits that are around. Riddle is one of the best places to work. I graduated from there and know how expensive that school is and have all of the student loans to prove it. You are one of the ones that was expecting to make the big bucks once you graduated from riddle. everyone has to pay there dues, in order to work there way to the big time. its people like you that had everything handed to them and never had to work and earn your on money and now that your out of your parents house you see how the real world is. why don't you stop whining, you are the type of person that gives riddle a bad name. you were the one that ****ed a way his loan money and know its time to pay it back you can't and you thought that it was going to be easy.......grow some balls, suck it up, eat roman noodles, and what your turn and stop whining about riddle.
its the rich a*****es how parents pay for everything and don't work or even know how to work, drive cars that are worht more than 2 yrs tuition. the stuck up snobs that leave riddle are the ones that think that they are entiltled to everything, because they went to riddle. these are the ones that give it a bad name.
there are many people who want to fly big airplanes sometime in there life. the work hard in school, they know that when they leave that they will have 140,000-180,000 in loans when they leave, but they know that by hard work and sacafice that they can get it paid off in 10-15 years.
again suck it, up, and grow some balls...........

Not to be mean, but your initial post sounded like you had a bad day because someone made fun of you for being a riddle diddle. I got the impression that you were depressed about it and for some reason looked to all of us jackasses on the internet for guidance

Congrats... you just proved yourself to be an idiot. No college graduate is ever "guaranteed" a job or guaranteed to be good at any job because of their university. Nobody said, "if you go to riddle, god will give you Chuck Yeager skills". No. They give the classes, teh training, the internships, and the oppurtunities. IT IS UP TO YOU TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT. If you are soo truely sorry for going there, you probably didn't make the best of it. You probably just scooted by, doing the bare minimum just to get the grade and came out just as dumb. If you regret the price tag, then as you stated, you should have gotten out when you thought "it wasn't for you". And to blame it all on your advisor is like saying you only went to one car salesman to buy a car. To make life decisions.... relying on one person shows more of your knowledge then what advice is coming out of your advisors mouth. If a doctor said you had to have both your legs removed to live, would you only trust that one doctor or get a second opinion? Same thing on colleges, choosing one or staying in one is just as much a life altering decision. And who knows.. maybe your advisor was still stuck in 2001 post 9/11 mode where NOBODY was hiring and it seemed the only way to get a job was to sacrafice your first born and he thought Riddle and Military were the only other avenues (according to him).

"When the interviewer asks where you did your training and you say Embry-Riddle, it's done."
It isn't just that one advisor--ERAU's entire recruiting establishment is full of that sort of nonsense propaganda.
Even making the best of it doesn't remotely justify the $101K tuition-only price tag for that useless, embarrassingly easy aero sci degree.

Then don't go there. Simple. Try using that same logic with people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on Lamb. Diablos or other sports cars. To some its worth it, to others its not. Pointless to try and make a blanket statement like that.
Flying is embarrassingly easy, it only gets hard when you do it well.
