Question
I'm Kuwaiti, living in Bahrain. I will be studying in the US for university and I'll move back to the Middle East for a job. I was trying to ask about known universities for Flying and Aviation in the US.. And what subject(S) in school will occur to me later on in university? I know it would be hard pressed to find a job even after graduating from a U.S. aviation school because employers do not sponsor foreign national pilots for work permits. But I can still be a pilot in Kuwait. And thanks you did help.

Thank you, again.

Katie.
