This thread is stupid........
Every few months, a new thread is created by somebody wondering whether or not to pursue a degree in aviation.
So they put the question out there and the same people reply with the same arguements and the entire thread goes round and round in circles and eventually ends in the same place that every other "aviation degree thread" ends - NOWHERE!!!
It's as simple as this......
Will an aviation degree help you get that coveted airline gig??
Who knows.
It certainly can't hurt. The basic understanding is the more qualifications you have then the better.
BUT...........
Is it worth three years of your life???
Who knows.
As an aviation degree holder I certainly hope so, and almost every other aviation degree holder will attest that it was worth the time.
Because nobody, (including myself), wants to feel that we wasted 3 years.
People who do not have an aviation degree will attest that it is not worth the three years. Because nobody from this group will want to feel that they might have missed out.
Somebody (obviously one of the more wiser pprune posters, unlike the rest of you time-wasters) mentioned that if you want to do a degree then do it. If you do not want to do a degree then don't.
Now, please, for the love of God, leave this thread alone
Eternity................
