Uni Degree Essential
I'm still at uni, but my view is;
1) A Degree is gona set you apart from all your competitors (who dont have one; school leavers etc..) when you go for an interview. Thus improves my chances for a job.
2) As Sir Alan Sugar said on The Apprentice; a degree only shows that a person has some kind of intellectual ability, capacity to learn etc... So does that mean a higher pay in a flight deck context = NO.
3) A degree gives ME a back up plan, if another 9/11 happens, i fail a medical, have an accident etc.
4) My degree will help me later on in my career when i slowly take on management roles. (I do Engineering)
5) And refering to point (1); at age 18 I felt very immature, and not right to invest £70K or sign away to the forces etc.... Uni has given ME (and maybe others) a chance to MATURE; and experience other non-flying related things. those 'life' or people skills etc, which you learn from experience, will help me in showing i'm a developed young adult, with Captaincy capacity. = A JOB!
