[xXmuffin0manXx]

im sure most of you would have just accumulated your hours

but as the aviation industry grows..will it be important

to go to uni and get a degree ?

Getting into uni is harder than using the search button.

Not meaning to be rude but this topic gets done to death about once a month and its not like there is ever anything close to a consensus.

But what about a BA?;)

I never said anything about how hard it is once you get into the course :}

If it improves your demonstrated level of grammar, quite possibly! :}

If you go get a degree, and then tear it up - you'll have both bases covered! :ok:

More education can never be a bad thing, but I would suggest doing something a bit useful - ie. professional (eg. law or accounting or engineering) so that you have something useful to fall back on if you ever (touch wood) get grounded. Aero engineering is an obvious choice.

UNSW now have an aviation degree (http://www.aviation.unsw.edu.au/), I think it's part-time so you can still fly and get it over a few years and it seems to have a combination of engo and management stuff. There are dedicated flying and management streams.

Here in the UK there's a plethora of decent aviation degrees, the one at City Uni (http://www.city.ac.uk/sems/undergraduate/aero/index.html) seems pretty highly regarded.

Or, join the RAAF and go to ADFA. You'll have to do 11/12 years including ROSO, but you'll come out with a paid-for degree and paid-for flying training (having been paid while you're at it). Who knows, you might even be able to build up some time on multi-engine jet transport types similar to those flown by major carriers...
