Aviation degrees are as useless as tits on a bull.
Those who do degrees in other fields do pick up some useful skill sets and definitely have an advantage, but those who do an Aviation degree barely even seem to get a skill set they need long term - ATPL subjects, instrument and/or instructor rating - little lone something that makes them stand out from the crowd.
More than a few I've met seem to think everything should be handed to them on a plate and unwilling to put in the effort required outside driving a plane (passenger check in, clean the plane afterwards, etc.) It really just appears to be another rebadged zero to hero course.
There are some excellent pilots with Aviation degrees, but the degree did not change their attitude or drive.. they would be the same excellent pilots they are owing to their own motivation and attitude, not a bit of paper they spent three years obtaining. They get the job done, put in the effort to keep themselves current for renewals and progress through the system because they put in the effort. But there are just as many (if not more) excellent pilots without an Aviation degree who manage the same thing.
