importance of a degree
Hello.
I'm 15 and currently doing my ppl. Everybody I've spoken to has suggested that I get a degree after school and then continue with my piloting career, but my question is: how influential will a degree be when I'm, hopefully, looking for an airline job someday?
Some people answer that without a degree it will be nearly impossible to fly internationally and others give the age old answer of- it'll give you something to fall back on if things don't work out... I would just like to know your opinion on how valuable a degree is and what experienced pilots recommend. I would most likely look towards aerospace or civil engineering in terms of a degree.
Thank you in advance!
