I've decided on a change in major.

Ok, I was enrolled in a Professional Pilot curriculum for the Spring 2006 semester. However, the costs of training and getting a bachelor's in aviation probably isn't worth it, especially considering what a turbulent industry this is, as many noted. I'd hate to be in steep debt when I graduate. Therefore, I've decided to enroll in another major that will provide reasonable job security and get a job that will allow me to pay for my training without taking out loans. I still desperately want to be an airline pilot so I just hope this doesn't make me appear to be less of a candidate to prospective airlines...

Someone please reassure I'm making a smart decision...
