Changing your tune there a bit, aren't you?

Well, for one thing, I could still instruct.

Which school do you see me defending? How much money do you think I wasted on it? How much time do you think I wasted?
I'll give you a hint -- no more money, and no more time, than if I had majored in History.
Why don't you just admit you don't have a clue about what you're arguing about here? If you didn't go to college, nobody cares. There's no need for you to try to disabuse everyone else of the notion that college is good, and an aviation degree is a valid option. There are advantages and disadvantages -- not one and only one (your) answer.
