That's what my room-mate in college did. I don't know what benefits you get, but I'm sure if you researched it you might find something interesting.

Answer 2

You can get a college degree in Aviation and become a pilot. You won't need private loans, because you can get FAFSA (financial aid that helps students pay for college) and get federal loans if you need them (you don't need a co-signer). You'll be flying in no time - that's what I did in college.

Make sure you choose a college with a flight program accredited by the FAA, here's a link to the FAA's directory of approved aviation programs:

Here's a link to scholarships to help you pay for your training and education, including scholarships for women interested in aviation:

Answer 3

If you are located in the United States there is a compnay known as Pilot Finance which helps aid in the costs of flight training.

Answer 4

Sallie Mae works with many aviation schools to offer loans pilot training. http://www.salliemae.com/get_student_loan/find_student_loan/training_loans/continuing_ed/

I suggest first finding the school you want to attend and then checking with their financial aid office re: what options are available to you.

Answer 5

you should get a job and save.
