I have absolutley no interest in applying myself in any other feild but aviation....think what you want to think. Maybe getting the non-aviation degree is alittle better,BUT you're not screwing yourself over by getting an aviation degree. There are many job oppurtunities out there in the aviation industry besides being a pilot! No offense, I know you mean well, and please dont take this the wrong way, but you come across as one of those people that says to me, "why don't you just join the air force and they'll pay for your training??" when I tell them I'm going to be a commercial pilot, which I almost am, and I have absolutly no interest in doing anything else....so why does that bother you so much that people get degrees in aviation? MYOB!
