That is why it doesn't really matter what the degree is on, what other career do you know that will require a degree that is completely unrelated to the career itself? I went with a non aviation degree and I'm recommending the same to my son, I have put it to good use in many other ventures outside of flying and I'm glad I got it, but in 30+ years of flying I can tell you that you will not use the education from your degree at all, this here is a technical career, you are not building the machine here, you are operating it
