So I have read tons of threads advising future pilots against aviation-related degrees and even posted my own "campus vs online" to which I received great advice. I am going with the campus, (and paying for flight school out-of pocket!!) but in choosing a major, I have read folks suggest engineering, finance, and business. I understand the business and/or finance, but I would think engineering be pointless; in the event of being furloughed in the future, would an engineering degree from years ago really hold the same weight as a recent grad? I would just as soon major in chemistry. Thoughts, personal experiences...please share. Thanks!!

Happy Landings!
