G'day!
In a few months I will be finishing Year 12 and I am wondering what I should do next, whether I should go to University or a flight school.
In University of New South Wales, a Bachelor of Aviation (Flying) degree costs 133k AUD.
For 2019 commencement students, it is $133,500 for the basic course, which results in a Commercial Pilot Licence and Instrument Rating – Multi Engine Aeroplane.
Whereas, some flight schools offer the same course for 75-85k.
So, what's up with that? Is there any reason to pay an additional 48-58 thousand dollars? I understand that the University provides a degree, but just how useful is it?
P.S. I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person who asked this question, but I wasn't able to find any concrete information.
