Hey you guys,
Well lemme first say my name is Eric and im a student at Embry Riddle Daytona. I went here with the idea of a great areonautical education. I went here with no clue lol (I was still under the influence of senouritis) Well after being here i figured out several things.
1) Its friggin expensive!
2) The flight dept. isnt the best thign to deal with sometimes
3) An AS degree prolly isnt the best thign to have in the future
4) The ever so great lack of women
Well i got here and after discovering all this, id say by the end of november, I have decided i will change majors. I have decided to do this because I am convinced that i need to "diversify" myself for the job market in case i lose my medical of furloghed, etc. Well after the fact of changing majors set it ment I couldnt fly at Riddle unless I minored in Flight and i dont want to waste my monor on Flight. So the situation of changing majors and still wanting to fly puts me in a pickle. I put in an application to San Jose State, CA (close to home) They got a club with wet hobbs as low at $50/hour to its members so i can fly there and get a different major which is what i want. But i want to ask a question to you guys because all this stuff is still in the air for me. What do you guys think about Riddle and what it can offer to its students after graduation? Do regionals and airlines like the fact u flew from Riddle and not just any other FBO? And does the AS major have anything with getting hired for an airline? Becasue if i get furloughed wat the hell am i gonna do with an AS degree. And would you guys agree with me about changing majors and/or possibly transferring if I do want to be a pilot for a career?
