Always wanted to go to Embry, but it is way to rediculously expensive (I don't get to see a dime from my parents, and my scholarship choices are slim due to socio-economic background) So instead going to transfer to Cal Poly SLO for Aerospace Engineering. Getting excited.

Yeah...

and I plan to go to the Air Force, they don't give a $h1t where you graduated form, they only care about your degree, GPA, rattings and hours   :bhead  :bhead  :bhead  :bhead  :bhead  :bhead  :bhead  :cry

Gratz!  I've been eyeing Mt. SACC's Air Traffic Management cources lately myself, but honestly going back to school for anything in the aerospace industry is apealing to me atm.   :aok

if you want a Bs then, Embry is ok, but if your willing to get an Assiociates that is cheaper and gets you a better Tower job, look into Community College of Beaver County. http://ccbc.edu/aviationsciences

CCBC students have the option on getting onto the FAA's advanced hiring list plus train in a live airport tower. We are the only college in the Country that has that capability. And after finishing the program, you can get a job straight away at a contract tower.

btw its just north of Pittsburgh...

Thanks for the good suggestion, I'll read up on it but doubt it will be a likely option, it being a CC in Pittsburgh and all.

Not bad at all... well kinda... it's as well intended as one can be when wishing Pittsburgh was located any closer to them.
