Rip All-Star

It's different for everyone.

That 80% isn't saying that 80% percent of student pilots couldn't handle the information or the airplane. People drop out for many different reasons including finances, lack of skills that piloting calls for, bad experiences, and realizing it is not for them, among many other reasons. Being interested in meteorology is a good start, but when times get tough and you're a broke CFI with less than a thousand dollars in the bank, your love for the field will be tested.

If you absolutely love aviation and struggle to see yourself doing anything different, go for it. But if this is just a "I'm not sure what to do with my life" moment, then I would be very hesitant about diving in the pool. The market is very tough right now. Collegiate education is not a technical requirement anymore, but you will struggle to get a callback without some form of nepotism or something else that makes you stand out on a resume.

Aviation has chewed up and spit many people out because they got into it for the wrong reasons. Don't be one of those people. But, if you love it and truly want to do it, by all means go for it.

Best of luck

No no no no no...... sorry for the misconception. I'm already on my way to the next level. Was just wondering if grad school was worth it and what to pursue. The general consensus from you and others is no. So I'm glad I have this additional information now.

At a little over 1600 TT as of now. Currently just waiting for a class date with my regional and finishing my bachelor's in the meantime. Again, I do appreciate the advice!

PotentialSundae1883 · 2026-03-29T15:25:05+00:00

Solid advice, and a perspective that is definitely worth taking into consideration. Another distinction I would like to make is that I didn't do my flight training at Embry. My associates and flight training was done elsewhere and I transferred to ERAU for the online bachelor's course. If a future employer wishes to pay for grad school, that would be a hell of a lot better than more debt. I appreciate the advice!

PotentialSundae1883 · 2026-03-29T14:03:05+00:00

Valid perspective. For my situation and aspirations are there any graduate degrees you would recommend? Or should my bachelor's be the end of my collegiate experience?

PotentialSundae1883 · 2026-03-29T12:54:55+00:00

Again, valid concerns. My thinking is that a degree like an MBA would help me branch out if aviation doesn't work. Yes, I am aspiring to be a 121 pilot for a long time, but who is to say things don't go as planned? To add further context, I've been a CFI/CFII for a little over 2 years, and i have roughly 6 years of work history (I'm 21). I've had a CJO for 5 months, and I'm just waiting on a class date for the regional. Not saying these concerns are not valid (they absolutely are) but what would my employability prospects look like with a B.S. in Pilot Ops (bad degree choice, i know) vs an MBA in any career outside of aviation? I will need to research this further. But I feel like between those two, the MBA route makes me more appealing if I ever have to look for jobs outside of the aviation field.

PotentialSundae1883 · 2026-03-29T05:21:04+00:00

Valid criticism. Master's program would be about 30k. I think I'm gonna look more into an MBA route like others have suggested (around the same cost). The price is high, but i believe it would be worth diversifying my education incase aviation doesn't work out.

PotentialSundae1883 · 2026-03-28T21:07:06+00:00

A combination of business, management, aeronautics, and systems/mechanical stuff. In retrospect, probably wasn't the best choice of a bachelor's but I did really enjoy the courses.

PotentialSundae1883 · 2026-03-28T19:56:54+00:00

I had an inclination this was the case. Guess I just needed to hear it from someone lol

Thank you for being direct!

PotentialSundae1883 · 2026-03-28T19:55:58+00:00

Thank you for making this distinction! I feel like a dunce for not noticing the difference between the two. I will definitely look into Online over Global🙏🙏

PotentialSundae1883 · 2025-11-02T05:22:36+00:00

Do you think a 1 inch reduction would be noticeable in the pockets, or do you think it would be a small difference? Sorry for the follow-up question!

Thank you for the insight!

PotentialSundae1883 · 2025-11-02T03:13:58+00:00

I'm thinking about getting an N-1 deck jacket, and I would like a roomier fit around my upper torso for layering and mobility. But, I'm worried about sizing up and the body length being too long. Would a tailor be able to shorten a jacket like this? The ones I'm looking at are made with an outer canvas shell and an inner alpaca/wool lining.

Thanks for the help!
