Thanks for the honest and not troll-like responses.
I'm aware of my luck!
very lucky indeed. I used to feel bad but my girlfriend says that I should appreciate it and male the most of it, so I will. Yeah my Dad works extremely hard, and he works smart, he went from the bottom all the way to the top.
It's not that he or anyone believes that a degree is essential or aviation, it's that a degree is an important backup plan. I understand and to a very large extent agree with that view. I know that I could easily be unable to fly professionally (I haven't even done the Class 1 medical).
I've spoken to several guys with heaps of experience and not many of them have university degrees, but my dad keeps saying they're from a different era. which is true I guess...
