So, the world outside of flying is all sweetness and light eh Brownbaron? Well it's been 4-5 years since I was last using my business degree to do the whole 9-5 thing. Back then it wasn't that great; in fact sitting in an office was pretty crap to be honest. At least flying is often (not always) fun and exciting. Can't say that about the office job.
It all depends on what type of gig you do. Contrary to popular belief, a business degree doesn't do much for yah (unless you have related field experience to go with it...). Plus, with the current economic downturn, there is a huge supply of business savvy individuals out there looking for work. Just look at the unemployment lines if you don't believe me...

IMHO, if you want a stable career, make sure you have a skill and make your it is something that not everyone can do (Make sure you are GOOD at it too!!!!). The people who will survive in these down times are those who are always in demand.
