I'm glad I ran into this post today because I've really been getting down about my future in flight. I've sat back and contemplated do I chase my dream or do I chase the money and this article has helped me make this decision a slight bit easier.

I plan to graduate with up to my multi-commercial my flight dispatchers exam taken but the question still was what do I do from graduation. You can't dispatch until you 23 and as stated above your multi-commercial isn't worth much to anybody unless you have the necessary hours.

When posed 6 figures in debt a 6 month grace period after graduation and not only wanting a better life for yourself but for your family as well do you A. Go to grad school and get an MBA in an aviation related field because aviation is my passion B. Join the military but not have the vision to be a pilot for them and potentially doing some random job as an officer C. Go all in on aviation and hope everything falls into place.

Given these options what would you guys do or suggest?
