An aviation degree is the biggest waste of time and money on this earth. Sorry if you didn't want to put forth the effort to get a real degree and are now extremely defensive.
Many of us, including myself attended real Universities and attained real degrees while also completing flight training on the side.
It was a tremendous accomplishment and I am a much more well rounded person because of it. Getting the "Aviation degree + flight ratings" bundle was an option I refused to even consider.
I wanted much more for myself.
