Are Degrees Helpfull For Career Advancement
Like most here I have many friends in the industry who hold degrees. I do not.
Without exception, all my friends with Aviation degrees have not done any better then me or faster then me in our career advancement. We all went through training schools, Instructing, Charter (singles, pistion twins and turbines, both single pilot and multi crew) and now a combintaion of little jets and big jets (depending on lifes choices) all at the same relative pace.
Those of my firends that had non aviation degrees (IT, Management and Law) shot through the ranks at an amazing rate.
If the good Prof. holds the creds mentioned earlier, then he should flamin well know better.
