Flyguy,
Try the Military, it's free and you will get the heavy time you want with ATG.
I went that route in the 70's and the experience I gained has kept me employed with the biggest RW employer in Canada ever since. Many will say dont do it, but if you just play the "pretend" game and dont get too caught up in the military brainlessness, you will do alright.
It will mean a 5 year commitment but hey, has any company out there given you a guaranteed job offer for the next five years?
Cheers and Merry Christmas!
