I'm a firm believer that one can either do this job, or they can't. They have the apptittde to be trained, or they don't.
Doesn't matter if the piece of paper says "Science" or "Arts", nor how many pieces of paper there are.
Absolutely I beieve that some can do the job and some can't.
I believe some can do that job is given enough time to train, and others can't in a strictly control timeframe.
I believe some can do parts of the job - for instance flying from point A to B but not all can be firefighting pilots (different environments, skill sets, etc...).
I wonder how the great *perfect aviator in the sky* computer at NAMI for instance weights the difference degrees. Being that the USAF seem to prefer technical degrees for their aircrew scholarships when I was in AFROTC, I'd say the institution has a preference.
