A degree is no longer a passport to success or to a job or to wealth creation it's a prerequisite to an interview with the other 100 applicants especially if the degree is in the arts.
Ok if your going into law or medicine that takes specialist degrees training up over several years to become a Doctor etc but that itself is a long term career choice as is aviation!
Most wealthy people I know have good business brains and most no degrees!
The degree ones end up as teachers
As for my son Yes he was flying right seat with Easy Jet at 20 but is not a prolific poster here at Pprune
