Hi
With regards to landing a job as a pilot, how much importance is placed on a post secondary school education, ie uni or college degree?
I do not have an undergraduate degree and about to embark on a commercial pilot licence training, and wondering if I am competitive in the job field.
What do you think?
Would not having a college degree be an issue in the UK and or Canada?
Regards
"There are three main ingredients in qualifying for an aviation job: general education, specialized aviation training and work experience. A post secondary school general education proves you are trainable, specialized aviation training qualifies you for a particular job and work experience proves you can do the job. In terms of getting hired, the three ingredients are equally important."
