I'm 22, and only have one year of college under my belt. I'm seriously considering going to a university to obtain a degree in aviation, so by the time I graduated I would have a mult. engine, and possibly jet engine. As I would want to be a Boeing/Airbus commercial or freight pilot, it looks like joining the air force for a few years after graduation would be my best option.  Any thoughts or reccomendations? Thanks

Colton, welcome to the group. I am a very new beginner student pilot, but I have heard that joining the military will not necessarily give you an opportunity to get hours. I think what many people do is get a CFI rating, then they get their hours while teaching others.
However, maybe other members with more experience and knowledge are in a better position to answer you.
