Any Embry Riddle Grads out there?

Purdue University pops to mind ... great engineering school and they have

aviation degree program to boot.

Awh, but then you'd be going to school with a bunch of damn Yankees...

TAMU has a degree in Aerospace Engineering...

Then again, what about ROTC and becoming a military pilot? I figure 4 years
of flying in the military will give you more experience than 4 years of
combined CFI and restaurant waiter experience... And the pay is definitely
better than what you could probably expect as a CFI...

Trust me, there are less Yankees at Purdue then you'd expect...

And no one will admit to being a Yankee in Aggieland...

And we don't ask 'em since we don't want to embarass 'em... On the other
hand, they do make good kindling for the bonfire...

Hey Grumman... You an Ag? Did you belong to the A&M Flying club while
you were there?

Embry Riddle is good, but it's not 120K in debt good. I wouldn't advise
anyone except a medical doctor or similar to take on that much debt for
school, especially when there are less expensive alternatives out there
(state university and the local FBO for instruction).

Nawh, I nearly ended up in graduate school there, but another school got
back to me first and gave me a research assistantship... Turns out that I
didn't know that you should complete your GREs *before* applying to graduate
school, but the other school's policy was that they would let you in if your
GPA was good enough as long as you completed them before the start of the
next school term... Thus, I ended up with a MS in CS (minor in EE) at
Louisiana Tech (which has a good aviation school) instead of TAMU... I'm in
the Houston area these days, so TAMU is kind of like a 'hometown'
university... Tons of their graduates around here driving maroon vehicles...

Ah. I spent 15 years there in College Station and I got my PP there at
the flying club back in 96. Was glad I did.
