As far as I see it, many degree"s these aviation colleges are offering are worthless, they are just something to put on the C.V , because airlines want to see some college experience? Am i correct in saying that. What can one do with a degree in aviation? Im talking bout an associates or bachelors where the student will major in "commercial aviation". Not a degree like Aeronautical engineering. If and when I do my degree, I will go for something like you say that will provide me with a stable back up. Law or Engineering.
Parents have agreed to pay for training. As far as living, they offer housing, if there is none available at the time, I have looked at other places.
Why do the flight training first? Well I cant really answer that , I have just thought that it would be better to get through everything, take a shot at getting a job (Flight Instructor) and then do a degree part time. That way you building up hours while doing your degree. I understand that chances are very slim at actually getting employed at present, but its worth the risk. And as far as visa/employment issues go, I will be able to get permanent residency in the states through my brother when he gets citizenship (Expected 2013) Either I will stay over there or come back and try my luck back home.
Understand what you saying though, I would really like to get the crappy part over first it makes sense (Getting the degree) But im kinda going for the deserts first
