Hi guys. I actually completed my degree in Aviation in New Zealand and it did take 3 years and a whole load of cash just to do it. And after all that, I have got a piece of paper framed. It does not help at all in GA unless you are looking for an office job in the aviation industry to fall back on if you are unable to pass your medical.
In this industry, i reckon experience is more important than reading books and passing ground exams which you will eventually not remember by the time you do get an airline job.
