Agree with most of the posts here. I did an aero degree because I thought it had something to do with aeroplanes. WRONG! It is 3 years of very hard applied maths. In most lectures you are writing so fast to keep up, nothing has time to go through your brain. It is not a lot of fun.
I was very envious of friends doing computer science degrees who were getting straight As with very little work while I was working my butt off to get Bs and Cs. The degree looks good on a cv when applying to an airline, but I do not think it is worth the effort. Airlines are interested in (a) total hours, (b) jet hours, (c) are you a nice bloke/lass? Find an easier course that has pretty women (any social science will do)!
