Rubbish Degree grade... alternative careers?
Hi everyone.
I’m in my final year of an aeronautical engineering degree and truth be told I’m not doing very well. This isn’t through lack of effort, I’m just genuinely struggling with the course itself.
I enrolled on this degree to see if I had the brain to train as a pilot, as I know that an engineering degree and the ATPL knowledge is similar in content and difficulty.
It looks like I’ll be graduating with a 3rd class degree, which is a huge disappointment. I do want to work in aviation but I’m coming to the realisation that technical work isn’t right for me (stuff that’s number heavy or technical I don’t do well in).
I might have the aptitude to do a PPL, I’m not sure now if I’d find it too challenging, but I’m wondering if there’s still a place for me in aviation that doesn’t require a degree and is within my capabilities.
also I know this is a pilot forum, and I will be leaving after this post but first just wondered if anyone had any tips as I feel a bit lost now.
ps, not blaming anyone but myself for my failures.
