Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!
What is next, instrument rating then twin engine and a commercial rating? It would be a good idea to get instructor lic. It would let you make money while in college plus hours go against AP rating.
Do you plan on adding rotary aircraft rating?
I forgot your age but, if young enough you have the time to fly enough twin engine commercial work to get the 2500 hours needed to get airline pilot rating. You could make a career out of a hobby.

I'm doing my instrument next, I feel its the most important. I would one day like to do Rotary but its not my prioraty considering I want to be an airline pilot, one day if i find extra time after everything ill do it. And then that would answer the next point, I do want to do it as a carrer.

I'm curious, How much does it cost....for everything. I've thought about getting a Helicopter license.
Also you could think about getting a job for Learjet or Boeing.
My brother-in law work for Learjet and says their test pilots make a sh_t load.

umm its usually somewhere between 7000-9000, obviously depends on where exactly you go, how much time you put into it and stuff, but apparently to get your rotorcraft (helicopter) its quite a bit more expensive for some reason. You figure usually the price of instructor per hour, aircraft for hour, and also the other costs associated with such as getting the charts and that stuff. my place rents the plane out for 125 an hour wet (with gas) not sure what our instructor fee was, just go to your local airport and inquire about lessons.

It has been a while since I last checked on cost for rotary but, the aircraft rental was double that of fixed wing. I think it was more fuel use plus because of all the moving parts the rotary had to have more frequent checks that meant more exspensive annual operation.
