College Degrees
Just finishing a graduate degree here in US,and felling a bit mixed on whether this was really such a good idea. Tens of thousands spent, and honestly not really seeing that it actually applies well to piloting. Started out with the usual BA,and then feeling the need to challenge myself further. There wasn't much going on for the past three years on the flying end, so said what the heck!!
Met a Virgin America pilot in SFO two months ago, and this guy didn't even have a damn degree!! Imagine where he will be in two years!! Flying for a major for sure, if he wants.
Been reading articles all over the place on college enrollment being down. Most students never finishing etc.
Seems like college just slows the flying side of your education down, and adds $$$$ to the debt, does nothing more for piloting..
Also seems like many newer pilots are opting not to go at all! What are some opinions you all have on college in US? Is it maybe time for new pilots to take a second look, and opt out?
