hey, thanks a lot for your time

but, you got me confused on one part...about a degree not being a back up
how i see it is,
suppose i am a pilot, but because my medical become invalid or because of some other reason, i am not permitted to fly, then i'll need some solid degree to secure another job...
but what you said about having a specific skill also serving as a back up is also a really good point...
can you pls tell me your view point on this degree thing, cause it would really help if i could see this from all angles...
thanks a lot

cheers
