Will a degree in engineering make any difference to my career?
Hello! I am currently doing my first year in political science and business administration and I have my PPL and around 100 hours. I have 3 years left before IŽll start flight training. I am currently thinking about whether I should continue with political science or switch to engineering.

I know that political science will act only as a backup plan in case I have to stop flying but my question is, will a degree in engineering open up any specific doors as a pilot? Will there be the possibilities of becoming a test pilot, working for Airbus, ESA, EADS etc. Is it worth switching subjects? What are the benfits with a engineering degree compared to a social science degree?
