Life after CBU
What is it like being a pilot right now?
This is the absolute perfect time to become a pilot. It has become one of the most
rewarding and highest paying career fields in the United States, exceeding that of
median-range doctors and lawyers. The need for young pilots is so high, every airline
is desperate to hire.
Anything else you would like to add?
I loved my time at CBU and learned a lot of valuable skills that will stick with me
for life. I recommend this school to anyone who is interested. They are flexible and
able to work with a busy school schedule. I am a commissioned officer in the U.S.
Army and was an ROTC member during my time at CBU and graduated on time in four years.
Busy but it can be done.
