I have also been on one of these courses and think very highly of them. You say it makes you the jack of all trades and the master of none??? Well would that not mean that you are the jack of SOME trades, and still the master of NONE? As we have done EXACTLY the same as you have done, and a hell of a lot more!
@ ProPwannabe
To be honest, I would reccommend a course to you, and like rriisshhii, I would reccommend the Kingston course, mainly because I have been on it
I know these degree courses have critisisms, but so do Oxford, CTC, FTE, and any other establishment and there are many people out there who will put other companies down wether its due to competition, word of mouth, jealousy etc.
Best advice I would give is, do what feels best for you. If you have 70k to hand to chuck into an integrated course and its what you want then do it, if you want to take you time and go modular with no degree then do it, or if you want a degree and an ATPL at the time when hopefully things will be looking up then do that. Whatever you choose, dont rush into it! Think about which is best for you, even if it means delaying another year.
To finish, I have been to 3 interviews with different companies, and all 3 have questioned a fair bit on the degree course. Yes it may not be the main deciding factor, but if 2 identical candidates performed identically in an interview and were exactly the same in all ways except one had the degree, it may just come into use. Plus, it is great fun and it teaches a lot more than a normal modular or integrated course does.
