I've had a change of mind about whether or not to go to university. Looking at the major US airlines, they all require pilots to have degrees. How long until it becomes necessary for pilots in Europe to have degrees? If there is a large number of low-hour pilots searching for jobs, a proper degree would probably be looked on favourably. I was looking through CVs/applications for a job, where a degree is
completely unnecessary, and yet a person who had a degree was favoured above the others. I don't think I should turn down the opportunity of free third level education/university either. I'm thinking about doing a degree in AeroEng or Avionics at University of Limerick or University of Glasgow (I'd have free accom in Glasgow too!). I would have to pay fees if I go to England, so that is off-putting, although Kingston seem to have very good courses. I wouldn't rule out any English university just yet. If anyone could give me information about degrees/careers in AeroEng, Avionics, or similar, or direct me to websites, I'd really appreciate it.
All the best
