Greater dedication - oh come off it. So you've met every student pilot in Australia. While you were at uni did you learn about confirmation bias?
It would seem I need to clarify this point a little further, I am not questioning the dedication of the individual - far from it. More so the dedication of ones calendar week to activities related to Aviation, my point is that Aviation degrees do provide an excellent learning environment that allows you to make the most out of your theory and/or flying training.
Best we agree to disagree Mr. Hat, Its time this thread got back on topic.
