If he's got the grades, he should try to get into the best engineering
school he can get into. He can take flying lessons on the side. After he
gets out, he's got lots of options. No airline is going to hold a solid
engineering degree against him.

The one thing most people don't realize, is that many of the best schools
(the Ivy league in particular) also have by far the most financial aid
resources. If you can get into one of these schools, money is not a problem
if you have the need. That's not always the case with a state school.

Regardless of how much the Bank of Dad, scholarships, work, etc., kick
in,
we're looking at financing a chunk o' change if he does end up going
there.
Thanks for any insight;

What is his goal?
If he wants to be an airline pilot, ER is the way to go. If he wants to be
an aeronautical engineer, there isn't much difference from a good state
university.
