academics and aviation
I am a recent air junky. I attended a University for architecture and am now out and taking PPL training with a local CFI. So far I am thrilled with what I've learned and done so far with aviation and I've only had a couple of hours in the air! My main concern right now is if I wish to advance towards commercial piloting for a major airline how necessary is a degree in aviation? A BA or AS. I've talked with a few pilots (although not commercial) and asked their opinion. The general conclusion is that is helpful but not really all that necessary. Is this true or would it really help?
Also on a crazy side note I am looking for employment. I would like to work in the aviation industry but am having trouble finding a job for someone with my experience. If anyone could give me contacts or anything that would be great. I am the best of workers. Thanks
