I've worked in aviation for Army for the past 7 years crewing on their aircraft (~2000 hours, A P, etc etc) and finally have ended my active duty obligations. I'm applying now to become a Warrant Officer, but want to start my PPL this summer to bolster my resume if am not selected for their program, as I can reapply later this year.

Some of the gentleman I've been talking to, to help me along this process say its essentially impossible to become a pilot without a Bachelor's. I'm 26 right now, and have literally spent my entire career up until this point, flying and teaching as a non-rated crewmember. I have no idea now, as they repeatedly crush my dreams of flying professionally.

All the money I've been making is going into getting the PPL this summer and trying to set this up.
