Question
David,
   My question is if it is, in your experience, better to go to a flight acedemy/university or if it is possible to get the licenses from smaller piloting shools and still be able to make a career with it.  Is it possible to have a career without going to a university?

Answer
Hi Ryan,
It is not necessary to attend an Aeronautical University.  It is preferred.  These schools have job placement and programs to help you gain flight experience and get paid!  On the other hand, I know of many pilots who did not attend that type of school and have a great career.  You must have a college degree (4 yrs) from somewhere.
Hope this answers it for you,
Dave
