I think its a bit stupid for someone that wants to be a commercial pilot, to do a four year degree, on something un-related-What a waste of time!
If a person's goal in life is to be paid as a pilot, then the logical thing is for he/she to do the relevant pilot training, and do well while doing it.
It is a bit narrow minded to think that a person that has a degree is superior to someone that doesn't, some of the most interesting and successful people I know haven't even got one.
Here is a question;
-You need a new pilot for your international airline.
-Two pilots apply. Both have the same flight qualifications/experience/pilot skills.
-Candidate A does not have a degree but he is fluent in 4 different languages that are spoken in all your airline's different destinations. However candidate B has a degree in food studies.
So vortex thing which one would you choose?
There is obvioulsy two possible answers, the intelligent one, and the stupid one.
