Seeking Guidance On Entering the Industry
Asked by: Philip Davis IV 3154 views General Aviation, Private Pilot, Student Pilot
I've been reading and planning on getting in the air exstensively for the past few months and have devised a plan. I would like to get some feedback as to how efficient this plan seems to those who know better than I do. I will be spending the next two years finishing my bachelor's degree in English, another passion of mine. I may like to teach one of these days. I considered getting in Associates degree in aviation at a local community college, but it does not sound like that will be of much benefit, considering that it is not a four year degree and that if I leave aviation I won't have a platform to pursue other options. So, from here I ask, would recommend that I learn to fly at this flight school, or would it be just a beneficial to learn from a freelance CFI, assuming that the instructors will be of equal skill at both places? This is where I am hung up right now. My passion does not necessitate flying a big airliner, if that helps in your consideration.
Lastly, how plausible is it for one to be a full time academic student as well as a student pilot, provided that both will be financed by loans of some sort?
Thank you for your help. This is a wonderful resource.
