Just note that these diplomas do not help you get a job any faster, or lead to better jobs. If airlines require uni degrees, and they rarely do, they prefer STEM majors.

Also note that most people get a degree to have a backup plan in case the flying does not work out. And yes, there are more people than you'd like to know that have to fall on these backup plans, even if only temporarily. These aviation management degrees do not help you get any employment outside of aviation, and are generally considered to be pretty useless.

It is a GREAT idea to get a degree on the side, I highly recommend it - but pay attention to your major and how it will/would impact your career!
