Not true
I must say I find some of the above comments very snooty. I have a degree and have just got on the June course. My degree wasn't much better than basket weaving. I worked in baggage handling for a little while and an enthusiasm grew for air transport.
In no way am I an anorak. I know very little about planes, but I'm ready and willing to learn. I feel I am a good team worker, keep good time and have the skills and organisation necessary. I also feel a degree gave me these abilities and taught me team skills, how to work hard for something, and how to deal with success and failure. The assessors obviously feel that I am able to marry up these personal traits with an enthusiasm to learn more and increase my interest in aviation.
I feel I will do very well on the course, and I don't think my degree will hold me back.
