Oh, dear. I think you are going to be disappointed. These aviation degrees are marketing b_s_.

...they offer new knowledge related to the subject area.
So does a job in the aviation business. One of them costs money, the other pays you money. One is considered a bit of a joke at least in the parts of the industry I know. The other will give you the experience and contacts to get you respect anywhere in the industry. Contacts mean a lot in the small world that is aviation.

Allow me please to draw an analogy ...

When I went into accountancy training with a degree in physics, the general consensus amongst the Top 8 firms (with one of whom I trained) was that they specifically did not want trainees who had accountancy degrees; they wanted students who had maths, sciences, English, any but Accountancy, Finance and Business Studies.

The reasoning was that Accountancy degrees offered nothing in relation to real life finance; it was all wacky theories and current concepts - nothing that was actually useful to the real world of Companies Acts and double-entry bookkeeping.

Cheers
