Oh sure, they'll pay for a medical degree, but they won't continue to pay for me to be a helicopter pilot. Lame.

I can fly one of those now with 50 something hours, but no license (did everything but the check ride/flight before the VA money ran out), but they won't pay to continue training, so no use paying the $2500 for a license I'll never use. They also won't grandfather the program for me, so 9 months of GI bill down the tubes. Good thing I can recoup that time via free credit hours through the university I work at.

Isn't helicopter experience basically useless if you have zero turbine time?

Helicopter experience is basically useless unless you have 5000hrs of turbine time, and even then you'd be lucky to find a job on a flight crew. I picked the program because it was the most expensive cool sounding thing in the state.

Bummer. I wanted to go warrant and start flying, but it sounded like anything short of 160th would have me twiddling my thumbs wishing I could get some flight time in.

You're probably right, but if you're getting a STEM degree at a prestigious college and for whatever reason don't qualify for a scholarship or grant of some kind ehhh you can probably make up that money.

Yeah I mean I took on 15k for my undergrad for a social sciences degree or whatever, but it got me a good paying job I wouldn't have gotten without a degree so it was worth it.

Now it's even more worth it because Uncle Sam is paying for it and the masters I'm doing. Thanks Obama! :thumbsup:

You're not competitive at good paying LE agencies without a degree anymore.

-which proper pronouns to use 101, 102, & 103.
-queen victoria: a historical perspective.
-which cat videos to use as currency once the patriarchy has been smashed 301.
