To: 'giddy up' - Im not sure if that sarcasm was directed to me or in general, but thats why I wrote........
"wait till you get an AIRLINE job, and THEN study something worthwhile".
But you did make a good point without knowing it. Your reply would fit equally well to those who do the Aviation Degrees, and backs up my assertion about wasting your time studying, rather than building hours.
Just in case that was directed at me - Im not flying a C210, Im a Saab captain, and got my command with 2500 hours TT on the basis of my ability (not my degree!!).
To 'sheep guts' - I agree with your point. These carriers are more likely to have recruitment staff that recognise the value of a degree. Not for the crap that was actually studied, but rather for the indication of basic intelligence, ability to learn, and intellectual proactivity.
cheers
