...........No degree, left school at 17, form 5 (incomplete) Was always at the bottom end of the class in the public school system.
Worked on cars for a while, fueled planes swept floors & now fly in one of the most sought after jobs around..............need a degree? I don't think so! You just need to be determined, there's no degree/schooling in that trait!
Having said that it would pay to have another card up yr sleeve as aviation is now too fragile to rely on as a life job.
